09-09-09 - First year of college. Watched 9 episodes of my favorite TV show. Lame, I know, but I was young and dumb and couldn't think of anything cooler!
10-10-10 - First serious boyfriend. Visited a romantic lake and held hands. Then, we cuddled on the couch and made wishes while we danced together later at 10:10 on 10-10-10. I wished that I wouldn't break his heart and that we could still be friends. I'm pretty sure that he wished that he could marry me after his mission...he wouldn't tell me though, because of the whole "If I tell you, it might not come true" thing. I guess I'll never know for sure. Two years later, it looks like we're at least friends. Sort of.
11-11-11 - I got together with 3 of my closest friends and we drank hot chocolate while sitting on my front porch all bundled up. We each wrote a list of eleven wishes, and at 11:11 on 11-11-11, we made all 11 wishes. I also had mailed a letter to The First that was filled with glitter and shiny confetti - you know, typical wish-type stuff haha - and told him to make eleven wishes because it was the luckiest day of the whole century. I was so obviously still in love with him. Oh dear.
12-12-12 - That is, today. My dad asked for ideas of things to do for this special day, so I came up with the following list:
12 Things To Do on 12-12-12:
1. Eat a dozen donuts
2. Buy a dozen roses
3. Scramble a dozen eggs
4. Listen to the 12 Days of Christmas song (the Straight No Chaser version is fun)
5. Write 12 fun facts about 2012 in your journal (can be world events, personal achievements, whatever, really)
6. Read or watch Cheaper by the Dozen
7. Write a journal entry with 12 goals for yourself
8. Watch Multiplication Rock (The Schoolhouse Rock songs, you know!) about 12 - it's called "Hey Little 12 Toes"
9. Read 12 verses from the 12th book in the Book of Mormon for your scripture study
10. Go on a roundtrip drive that is exactly 12 miles long
11. Buy something from aisle 12 of a grocery store
12. At 12:12 on 12-12-12, make 12 wishes.
I love making lists. But sadly, I did not do everything on this list! I'm so ashamed! I don't have a car, so no trip for me. And I could never eat 12 donuts and 12 eggs. That's crazy! And I'm a poor college student, so a dozen roses are pretty much not happening. BUT. The thought counts, and if I had the means (and the friends to help me with the food items), I would TOTALLY have done all of these things! Anyway. The point is, it's a great day, and I totally documented it here. Forever engraved on the internet is proof that I took note of this historic 12-12-12! :)
This post's title came from this song:
The Twelve Days of Christmas as sung by Straight No Chaser
