Funny "we sometimes think alike" moment -- I just saw this meme again on someone's blog yesterday and thought I might just post it today! I didn't, but it will probably show up soon! It's fun to read everyone's answers!

Becky G said...

Sus, that is funny, and just a li'l bit freaky. I'll be looking forward to seeing your answers.

I hit forty-four off the list, forty-five if the total eclipse includes a lunar eclipse. I expect to knock off a couple more in the next year or so.

Becky G said...

Cindy, it didn't say, so I counted it. I have seen a couple of solar eclipses, but I don't remember if any of them were total.

Isn't it amazing how once we list the items your whole perspective changes?!
I learned I'm not as boring as I thought I was!
