You and I have a common goal of losing weight. We should meet at the park with our kids in strollers a couple days each week.

As for the tag, I graciously decline. I've been tagged a couple of times already, and I'm not that interesting of a person anyway. Plus I could pretty much copy your tag and paste it to my own blog. We really have a lot in common.

Thanks for humoring me by responding to the tag. They're a nuisance, aren't they? But so fun to learn more about you.
