11/11/11 - Are You Planning Anything?

Next year is 12/12/12...

I don't think I will do anything special. Mostly, because I haven't thought about it until now! One lady on here said she was going to do food and things that represent ones.

I will be hiking in the mountains after sleeping late, followed by some great wine, cheese and the company of girlfriends in a hot tub by an outdoor fireplace with no kids or husbands! Not for 11/11, but it's as good an excuse as any!

My son is turning 11 mos on 11/11/11!

Just make sure you take the picture at 11:11:11 on 11/11/11!

The origional 11/11/11 was when the armistice was signed ending WWI. It was in 1918 and the 11/11/11 was the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. That officially ended WWI. It was originally called Armistice Day, but that was changed to Veterans' Day, but I don't know when.

As for me, it will be my first day as Santa at the mall. I'll be back for Thanksgiving with my family, and then I won't be back until Christmas day.

Good luck to you and yours.

First and foremost say THANK YOU to our veterans, active duty, separated and retired. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

second, help and be at my girls grand opening of her consignment shop - n'used fashions!!

third - pick my best friend up from the airport!!! YAHOO!!

I will take my Veteran out for a special dinner thanking him for his tour of duty in Iraq. We will then spend the day as a family.

I will thank all the Veterans.
Say a prayer for all active military.
I will take a picture at 11:11 as someone suggested.
I might buy a lottery ticket. Heh heh.

yeah you're right-----next year is THE ONLY year that it'll happen again in our lifetime. (there is no 13th month). i just haven't really thought about it before. if you can come up with any good ideas, i'm game. I'll buy 4 (one for each of us) lottery tickets (first time in 11 years actually----does that count?), and I like the idea of taking a photo with the daily paper at 11:11:11. That's close to lunch so we can swing by my husband's work and bring him his lunch and let his secretary take a quick picture of all 4 of us (that's rare!). But yeah after that, I'm at a loss.
Of course being that it's a Friday, we will also be at kung fu class for Joseph and storytime for Victor. Being that it's Veteran's Day, I've talked my dad into bringing his laptop to grandpa's house (he lives 10 minutes away from Grandpa) and letting Grandpa skype with all of us, thank him for his service, and let Joseph tell Grandpa all about the battleship we toured 2 weeks ago (Grandpa's job was to shoot down aircraft on a battleship in WW2). That's really all I've got planned.

Because it is 'stick day', I will do a little dance. I got the idea from someone else...

Because it is Veteran's Day, my politicians will be getting some mail from me. Our troops deserve better. Both my husband and I are ex-military and have strong opinions on the topic.

Because my son's preschool is closed, I'll be spending some good time with him. Maybe we'll go outside and play with some sticks.:)

Don't forget it is Veteran's Day.

My due date is 11/20/11, so maybe I'll be having a baby on 11/11/11! That would be a cool birth date!

Hmmm... something perhaps. I remember 8/8/88... I was at summer camp and they made a big deal about it.

I have already written thank you notes to my dad and my uncle and my brother in law for their service in WW II and the Vietnam war. It's a great day to celebrate our freedom, thanks to our Veterans!

On 11/11/2011 another portal is supposed to open and humankind's consciousness is to awaken. It will be interesting to see how many people wake up.

Yea, I'm planning on a meeting at 8:30 am, another one at 11:30 and then my book club at 1 pm.

I'll be taking my son to the children's museum and lunch since we both have the day off from school.

I'm attending Women of Faith. :-)
