You do motivate me to use the bicycle a bit more. Really, I am doing more and more each day to rid myself of a few pounds. (Not for vanity, but for health)<br />I added your blog to my sidebar. I hope you don't mind.

I reminded him it's going even more quickly for me! I have a proposition for you ~ I LOVE to vacuum, it's my favorite thing, maybe you could come on over and load/unload my dishwasher? Like you, the religions connotations surrounding Easter were more for me as a child, my children and now my grandchildren ~ though I don't get the impression they are 'religious' and are very spiritual in their beliefs.
