thanks for reminding me- I forgot last night! my DH did remind me this morning, but not at the best time for me to say.
and I hope everyone who forgot earlier, does what micki does- Shomaya K'Oneh! [ie. you can be "yotzei" with someone else's bracha, even though you can't make it anymore]

you guys wont believe me but I lost out on the bracha on night number 2
Sad

its ridiculous and im embarrassed, but at least I can count without a bracha or say "amein" to someone else's.

RG, don't feel bad -- I usually forget the first one, with the second seder and everything. The only reason why I remembered this year was that when I walked into shul on Yom Tov morning, the rabbi was talking about sefiras haomer, so I counted during the day.

I'm sure we have more things in common than not; they're just not as interesting to talk about Smile

well then, I guess we find the same things interesting to talk about- things we disagree on... Smile

Well this yr I didn't even start with a bracha, b/c I heard that women are not supposed to count with a bracha.
