What's your 2007 calendar?

We didn't really put up a calendar last year in the house until the end of the year when I started counting down the remaining days of my pregnancy. Additionally, by that time my hormones were all out of whack so I was having difficulty remembering not only appointments I had scheduled but also, most basically, what day of the week it was (my t.v. viewing habits would normally act as some kind of reminder, but during rerun season you can't rely on that).

I needed a visual cue to remind me a couple of days ahead of time that I had some obligation to fulfill, so I took one of those cheap tiny freebie calendars that come in solicitations from insurance companies/realtors/etc., took off the decorative magnet, and taped it to the white board in the kitchen. That way I could scribble a note such as "Prenatal appointment: 11/15, noon" on the board and then look at the calendar to see if I was supposed to be doing something else at about that time. You would think that there wouldn't be much to keep track of when you're at home all day, but trust me - you need the calendar even more. Often I would note, "Ah, that's a Wednesday. Harris Teeter is doing buy 1/get 1 chicken breasts on that day. I'll pick some up since I'll be out."

My alma mater sends me a calendar every year. Last year's went into the recycling bin, as I had a perfectly functional jumbo desk calendar at work and a PDA I used frequently. Now I need a little extra help. My short-term memory is shot, so up the calendar goes.

What's your calendar this year? No worries - I'll forgive you if it's "The Best of Barbie."
