Calling all friends ...

Dear friend,

I suck at this New Year's thing. I set resolutions yesterday in church (curse my inspired Relief Society President for knowing I wasn't going to set any unless she made me!!!) and I've failed EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and it's only Monday at 11 p.m. Every single one. I knew there was a reason I never made them in the first place! Curses. I wondered if you could do me a favor ... I have this incredibly ambitious goal of being on time for work. I know, I know ... cancer needs to be cured, world hunger should be ended and I still have no idea how to scrapbook. But would you mind calling me in the morning, say around 7:30 a.m? Just to make sure I'm up? I realize it's pathetic I have to set a New Year's resolution to be on time to work ... you would think that would be a given when as a mature, responsible adult I accepted the job. Nope. Not so. I still have to drag myself out of bed every morning and I have to remind myself that it really IS a problem when I walk in the door at 10:15 a.m. and everyone else has been there since at least 9:30 a.m. Which ironically, is the time I finally put my feet to the carpet this morning.

Sigh.

Maybe one day I will not only wake up, but will be able to shower, exercise, attend an Institute class or do a variety of other things before 10 a.m. But for now, I would be content with just untangling myself from the sheets.

Now taking applications for a volunteer wake-up call service ...

I would call you but it would be at 8:30 your time, not so effective. Speaking of resolutions, I have one for you, how do you feel about book clubs? More specifically, religious book clubs?

Do you mean book clubs where you discuss religious books? Or book clubs where all the members are of a particular faith?
