If I were Oprah and I had a Favorite Things show, I would give away Sierra Club Engagement calendars and Extra Fine Sharpies. Sharpies are definitely my favorite thing because of the happy colors and the way they write. Lefties, or at least me, have trouble with pens. Sharpies dry fast so I don't smear the ink with my hand, and I don't have to find a special angle to hold them that works. So I use them for everything, especially my calendar. People ask me if it's color-coded according to kids or types of events. Uh-huh. Sure. I'm that organized. I do love to schedule and plan. In fact, my calendar IS color-coded. Turquoise means there was a turquoise pen available. Orange means orange was the first pen I grabbed. Red is the pen in my kitchen, black is the one on my keychain. Regular pen means I searched everywhere for a Sharpie and finally used an inferior pen. Pencil is a last resort because it smudges. Scott uses pencil for everything and writes in tiny block letters, all caps. What would a handwriting expert say about that? What would one say about my rainbow calendar? That my brain is a mess and I'm extremely juvenile? Probably, but the colors make me happy. I secretly want to go back to grade school and use a brand-new Crayola 64-pack for everything. That would be the ideal.

My calendar looks just llike that.. however I'm not as organized as you because I couldn't carry it around.. mine has to be nailed to the wall or I'd lose it and then where would I be.. that's the trouble I wouldn't know. :)
Tif, I'm laughing at your comment. I can't leave mine home because I have no short term memory! At least you can remember what is on your calendar! :)
I have 2 calendars. The one on my wall looks just like yours. A rainbow of colors!
The other one is on my phone, because I have no brain and can't remember anything. I would forget my name if it weren't my phone's screen saver. For reals.
Love it. You are one busy lady!
Oh, I just had an idea! You guys should have another baby because it looks like you've got WAYYYYY too much time on your hands and need something to do!!!! :) You're amazing!
I love that you have been using the planner almost as long as I have known you....but back in the day wasn't it Van Gogh and other artists?
I love sharpies, too but i have to hide them because in the hands of children, they are scary scary scary! and dangerous! You should read my blog entry about Crayolas.
