Your mental/paper calendar?

[Catherinedana]

My mental calendar is faulty lately, especially since I have a lot more going on than I ever did before. I have calendars at work that are for work stuff and a desk calendar at home where I write down my personal stuff.

I am not great at remembering birthdays and such and personally don't think it's a huge deal but that's probably made me some enemies in my lifetime.

I always have a problem remembering if my wedding anniversary is November 5 or 6, but thankfully we have a picture of the two of us at the celebration that someone took and it has the date on it so I can always sneak over and look at that. I almost forgot this year

I got a really cool Quaker Parrots of Brooklyn (yes, they do live there! Cheeky buggers!) calendar for 2009 and hate to give it up. I need to see if there is one for 2010.

Do you have a 'mental' calendar?Yes, I'm normally really great at remembering dates. This pregnancy has totally changed that though. Lately I've been having a really hard time remembering names and dates.

Are there dates you alway remember/observe? I normally remember birthdays and anniversaries really well.

Do you have problems remembering some dates? lately yes, but not usually

Do you keep a paper calendar where you do make notes of dates? Not paper, no. I do however use the calendar on my computer.

Wall or pocket? Computer

Where does it live? On the computer

Where do you get your yearly calendars? I don't

Do you hang the calendars that you get at your local stores/markets/businesses? I haven't gotten one in ages, but if/when I get one I don't hang it

Do you have a 'mental' calendar? yep

Are there dates you alway remember/observe? b-day, anniversaries, gotcha dates, RB days.

Do you have problems remembering some dates?oh yeah. oddly, this year i'm hoping to do a long weekend in feb as a midwinter break to a sunny place, and i'm having a problem recalling the exact end date so i can set up the flights and hotel most cheaply.

Do you keep a paper calendar where you do make notes of dates? a necessity

Wall or pocket? both, wall calander at home,has paydates, bills due, when i sent for that rebate, when princess peanut got her heartworm pill, the master list of dr appts, poker nights, vacation dates, when the exhibit we want to see ends, what weekend is the spring yard sale dates, the daily life stuff. the purse calander is for work dates as well, which job am i supposed to be at, start and stop times at the J-O-B and haircut appts, those i make 4 months at a time.

Where does it live? wall calander behind and above the kitchen radio (do other people still have a kitchen radio?) in plain site, the purse one sometimes hides, usually it's in the purse tho'. i got a stiff paper triangle calander 2 yrs ago that i loved for my desk, that had very cool dog and cat photos on it, and i'd like another one this year.

Where do you get your yearly calendars? i like month at a glance for the purse one, i do best with a deadline in my face. the wall calander is pretty big and i buy plain, no ad ones at staples or some office supply store. while i like the school year type ones, i never remember to buy the next years until november.

Do you hang the calendars that you get at your local stores/markets/businesses? they have gone to work with me for hanging there. i don't hang them at home tho'.

Please add your customs or traditions on how you keep track of the year.
i do the big dates when i get the calander-bdays, anniversaries, i do a monthly update the sunday before the start of the month to make sure i don't forget an appointment. i try to match the wall calander and purse calander at the same time, usually that works.
