Do you have a 'mental' calendar? Yes, but it is getting more and more faulty, each year.

Are there dates you alway remember/observe? Sure, the big stuff! Christmas, Thanksgiving, my birthday, my Mum's and Dad's birthday (even tho' Mum's been gone 16+ years)

Do you have problems remembering some dates? Definitely. For some reason, my BFF's birthday is one I never can remember!

Do you keep a paper calendar where you do make notes of dates?First I have a Calendar Guide Book. It lists each date through the year. You enter recurring events: birthdays, anniversaries, things like that.

Each December, when I get the new wall calendar for the following year, I set and go through entering all of these on the wall calendar.


Wall or pocket? The wall calendar has those big 1 inch square boxes to enter things. That is in the kitchen. I also carry a small planner in my handbag. That is used to make appts: doctor, dentist, etc. or Dad and me, and the 14 pets. I have to make sure I keep the 2 in synch!


Where does it live? see above.

Where do you get your yearly calendars? The pocket planner-- I buy every other year. It must be a certain brand which has space at the back for phone numbers. I only list a few, but they are key: AAA (with my ID number as I can never locate my card), one of Dad's key doctor's, a few others.

The wall calendar is always animal related. Often I get 2 or 3 rescue calendars in the mail. Last year I bought a bichon one or the first time.

Do you hang the calendars that you get at your local stores/markets/businesses? To my knowledge, no one around here gives them anymore!
