Best friend gave me a Monet dayplanner for a belated Christmas gift.
Kitchen wall: Greater Lafayette Health Services freebie I received in the mail. Since I’ve been a resident of this city since 2001 and never received a calendar from these folks before, I’m guessing the reason I’m now on the list is either that I know one of the photographers who contributed, or the GLHS hospitals are seeking to “bribe” the voters before placing a funding issue on the ballot. This month’s scene is of one of the lupine residents of Wolf Park.
Living room: A little self-adhesive calendar which features a slot for a business card – in this case, my dad’s. He’s been sending similar items with his Christmas cards for about the last twenty years, since he became a part-time salesman of matchbooks and related advertising novelties. A running joke in our family is that some people my parents haven’t seen for years send them cards just to keep the calendars coming.

Last year I had a page-a-day desk calendar, but since I never bothered to change daily, this year I got a M. C. Escher wall calendar.
My brother gave that to my family! Last year, he gave us a Georgia O’Keeffe calendar.
I used to have multiple calendars, but I discovered that we would end up writing appointments and reminders in whichever one was nearest at the moment, and that led to many missed appointments.
They haven’t been put up yet but…
**Hip Hop Honeys 2005, ** 1 year of the hottest girls from various Hip Hop videos.

Wall - a photographer friend made a calendar for me of photos she’s taken. Really really cool.
Desk - I don’t have one. I can’t do those page-a-day calendars, because I tend to read them straight through when I’m bored.
Purse - Palm Pilot
I usually get four for my desk at work.
This year:
Car & Driver’s Dream Cars
Dilbert
Get Fuzzy
Well, Duh: Our stupid world and welcome to it
kitchen: Wallscroll calendar/menu from local Chinese restaurant.
bedroom: not up yet, but likely my Dale Jr. wall calendar.
We got a surprising calendar from a Chinese takeout place we frequent occasionally. We’d expected some inoffensive “Scenes of Hong Kong” kinda thing, instead we got 12 months of this Chinese hottie posing in various slit-skirt outfits for each month. Works for me.
I have a wall calendar of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Thirteen alarming months!
I got the Dr. Crash calendar from Sailing World magazine. Each month has a photo of a mishap in a sailing race. Some are minor upsets in small dinghys, and some are major, expensive crashes in ocean-going raceboats. Each has a snarky commentary from Dr. Crash.
This is the first recent year when nobody but my mechanic and my furnace guy gave me a calendar. That’s fine with me.
