I mean 11 three times.

Today is October 11, 2012, a date that can be written as 10-11-12. The three consecutive numbers that add up to 33 are 10, 11, and 12. Divide 33 by 3 and you get 11, the average between the three consecutive numbers. Subtract 1 from 11 and add 1 to 11, and you have your three consecutive numbers.
