I can't believe it, but I have done 59 of these !!! Of course, I am a bit older then you are--you still have plenty of time. This did get me thinking a past fun. I love the one of "being on a speeding motorcyle". I wasn't just on it--I WAS DRIVING MY 550 HONDA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have to go back & count how many I can check off that list. Just wanted you to know that I too, have kissed a banana slug! I wanted to be part of the "banana slug club" while camping. If my cousins had joined, i had to too, right?

i just counted and i'm at 63!!! I plan to add a few by next year :) this was so fun lady...thanks for sharing this.
