    <about><![CDATA[I began reading LDS novels about two years ago.  My husband thinks I'm obsessed now, but I love it and I learn new things along the way.  I belong to the American Sewing Guild.  My obsession with reading has kind of taken over my sewing obsession, but that's okay.  My books are actually taking over my sewing room.  I love going to the library every week as well.<br/><br/>I love working out at the gym and riding my bike.  I used to walk everywhere, but now I'd rather bike ride.<br/>]]></about>
