Fun plans for 11-11-11??

[kendallt]

I just realized that tomorrow is 11-11-11. Anyone planning something fun or unique to "celebrate?" Other than doing the whole "take a picture at 1:11" thing, I'm drawing a blank!

Nothing special here...although we have a wedding to attend to tomorrow, but other then that, nothing!

Tomorrow is also Veteran's Day, so I will be calling my dad who served 30 years in the Navy. But beyond that, I hadn't thought of anything. I should do something because that seems like such a fun date. I'd love to hear other's plans!

I'm shopping in Chicago with my two best friends. LOL It has nothing to do with 11-11-11 or Veteran's Day, though. I did leave a bunch of Veteran's Day activities for my sub at school! And I love the idea of taking a pic at 1:11 tomorrow with my best girls.

A coworker was telling us at lunch today that she's going to a "ONEce in a lifetime party." They were supposed to bring 1 appetizer and 11 canned goods for the food pantry. It lasts from 7:11- 11:11. They're going to play Uno... and there were other things but she couldn't remember. I thought that was fun & creative!

We aren't really doing anything for Remembrance Day but my ILs and niece are coming up from the city for the afternoon. At least my house will be a little cleaner at the end of the day as my MIL can't help but do it when she comes. LOL

It's supposed to POUR all day tomorrow too...we have a rainfall warning in effect!

We will be thinking and remembering all the veterans in our family, past and present, tomorrow.

that's a fun idea! I think I'll plan a family game night around playing Uno and eating pizza breadsticks (shaped like 1s of course), followed by going to a high school football game where 11 guys will face off with another 11 guys on the gridiron!

I'm working and I just realized since I got one of the guys to come in early for me today, I am working 11 hours tomorrow.

For us it is Veteran's day first and foremost and it's a day of memories for my daughter, son, and I. We spend the day together as a family and remember my DH and his service but also remember him as a wonderful dad and husband. Cheyanne never got to know him as she was 2 when he died, so we try to bring our memories alive. She always has a list of questions about him that she asks - funny things, serious things. We'll also be having lunch at the VA Hospital. The fact that it's 11-11-11 is kind of "neat" but if there are photos, it will be incidental that they are taken on 11-11-11.

Katie has a couple of ideas on her blog today... http://scrapbooklady.typepad.com/kat...-11-11-11.html

I don't know... I've been wracking my brain, too!

It's veterans day, so I'll be doing something with my husband, since he's a vet.

Yep, same here! Adam has a four day weekend so we have some fun stuff planned (tonight is Wurstfest!) but I did set an alarm on my phone to take a photo at 11:11am.

You bet I have something FUN planned!!! I drove down to Oklahoma to spend the weekend with my bff, Stacy, and we are going shopping!!! I rarely go shopping "for fun" ... and no, technically it isn't FOR 11-11-11 ... just by coincidence it is on that day. LOL Just glad I am here!!
