1. Started your own blog

3. Played in a band
4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower

17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty
18. Grown your own vegetables

95. Seen the Alamo in person
96. Swam in the Great Salt Lake. (I have visited the GSL many times, more than I can count. Not only did I not swim in it. I will NEVER swim in it and I don't recommend anyone else does either. Have fun walking through those brine flies!)

98. Owned a cell phone
99. Been stung by a bee
100. Read an entire book in one day

Looks Like I have completed 50 of them - and there are 5 that I will never do - so 55 out of a hundred isn't bad!

Good job on the list. I'm trying to track down everyone who copied it from me to tell them I chopped off #11, bungee jumping.
