11.11.11

I remember sitting in Mrs. Grover's 8th or 9th grade science class and discussing the far-off 11/11/11. One kid talked about hiking Mt. Everest before then. I remember thinking, "When that day comes, I'm going to have a huge party, and at 11:11, we'll all celebrate!"

Well, today is the day that I've thought to for so long, and it even happens to be a Friday--a perfect day for a party. But I don't really have a place to throw a party, any ideas for a party, enough friends to really have a party. When I talked to my 98-year-old great uncle recently, I mentioned 11/11. "You've been waiting for this day for 98 years," I said. "Yes," he agreed.

I think I'll enjoy a nice evening and maybe even eat some good chocolate at 11:11.

Happy 11.11.11!

    I was SO excited about it before and spaced on it until 11pm that night. Which was a cool time, but arg, I was so sad I missed celebrating it! I talked to Josh for a full 3 minutes about it and that was it, and that was a stretch for him. You're my kindred spirit :). AND I LOVE QUILLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
