11-11-11

Remember last Friday when all those elevens in a row was a pretty cool sight.  While at work, I made sure to watch the clock and 11:11am to make a wish.  (I can't tell you what that wish was though, I want it to come true.)  That evening Talena and I got together, because we are funnier together than apart and planned a way to commemorate the many elevens.  We came up with the genius idea to build an 11 level tower with 111 plastic cups.  I think the most humorous moment of the evening was when we were are the grocery store and our funny cashier was ringing up our purchase.  He asked us what all the cups were for.  I'm not very good at lying so I said, "To build a tower."  He laughed and said, "So that is what my life would be like without alcohol."  That got us all laughing, of course he was just teasing.  And I would like to add, yes his life could be this awesome without alcohol, but either way, he is still our favorite cashier.

Talena and I found building an eleven story tower with cups a bit tricky.  It took a few tries, but we finally succeeded.

One of our attempts...

And it all came tumbling down.

Trying again.

Getting closer!

Success!!

After our tower building accomplishment, Danny joined us and we played some speed scrabble.  At 11:11pm, we said 11 things we liked about each other, which was very tender.  It was a very entertaining evening.  Also, what is a day of commemoration without treats!?  We had refreshments of twizzlers and twix, because it just made sense.
