Thanks to ScottGu I saved some time creating my local resource files.  I found this post of his that gives some really great resources on Localization in ASP.NET 2.0 (really worth the read).  The little nugget that saved me some time is down in the comments:

"If you are using VS 2005, you can use the "Generate Local Resources" option within the Tools menu to auto-generate the .resx files for resources."

Giddy Up!
