We bought an exercise bicycle just before Christmas. (*He* bought it and canceled his gym membership.) So a couple times I week, I hop on for about 20-30 minutes of high intensity cycling.

Surprisingly, there were some good things in my budget.
On the income side, because I made an effort to save, I made ~$100.00 in interest by doing nothing but saving! I like that! I don’t think 2007 will see a comparable number unless people want ING referrals from me. The ones I got from 2006 were [...]
