Vertical Day Ahead

This coming Friday in addition to the important Veterans Day, is Vertical Day. This year, it is a once in a century experience. Just look at the date 11-11-11, all numbers vertical. How cool is that! A couple of years ago, my biggest vertical day fans decided they should come to Chicago to spend vertical hour/minute, on vertical day, in the vertical year with me and my family. Well, that was a loooong time ago and plans have changed. Plus, they have a wedding to attend and what a cool wedding anniversary to have 11-11-11. I hope that they give a really cool vertical wedding gift. (like striped coffee mugs, christmas ornaments vertical in shape or stripes, perhaps some handmade striped/vertical goodies, and if they give the gift of money, it should be in singles or in 11's). I can personally say, that I have been married 11 years this vertical year - since we were married in 2000.

I decided, that I should give them 11 gifts, costing no more than $11.11 not including the cost of shipping. Using what I have and being resourceful, my package began the trek to CA on 11-1-11. Now I just had to send a vertical day gift on a vertical day, that is how I celebrated 11-1-11. The thing is, I did not snap 1 picture of any of the contents or any of the package(s). Can you believe that? I was so focused on our Halloween happenings and making it to the post office that I did not document my biggest joy of this 11-11-11. You will have to see vertical greatness through their eyes. I will list them out once I know they have all been opened, I can't ruin the surprises.

Where will I be at 11:11 on 11-11-11? Why I will be lunching and making the greatest wish of the century at Eleven City Diner on the corner of 11th and Wabash. What will you do at 11:11 on 11-11-11?
