One shitty poll taker I am!
On New Years Day of this year, (can you even believe that 34 days has past? Wow that just blows my mind) I wrote a post about calendars that you can read here. It was about how I liked and used calendars and I asked my readers to fill out a quick poll on the subject in my sidebar. The question was How do you use calendars? The answers to pick from were paper (calendars), on-line (calendars) or no calendars at all.
I only received 4 responses after the whole month of January. This is how it came out.
1 person answered paper calendars.
1 person answered that they did not use calendars.
2 people answered that they use online calendars.
Since 4 answers are not going to prove anything or give me any ideas on what people use in regards to calendars I only have 1 conclusion.
I write really, really, shitty, uninteresting polls.
Not really the answer I was looking for, but it will do. LOL!!!
P.S. I would like to thank the four of you that did take the time to answer my poll. I may be making fun of myself because of it, but it means a great deal to me that you did take the time!

How do you use a calendar?
Another year has come and gone. How do I know?
Because the calendar tells me so!
I never have thought a whole lot about it before, but a calendar is an essential part of (even) my life! It is there to remind me of birthdays, (Maybe I ought to get one for my 4 sons with birthdays pre-written in it) But that could be another whole post!
Oh that's right, it already is! HERE ( I could not help myself I left my self wide open for that one LOL!!!)
But seriously, I find myself looking at my calendar several times a day. I have an online one, and I have google send me "reminders" via e-mail all the time. But myself? I much prefer and use the good old fashioned paper Calendar. Just today I took last years calendar and transferred my important dates to remember onto my brand new sparkling and crisp calendar for 2009. The one I am using this year comes from Pillsbury. It has a recipe for every month. This in turn will add something for me to add to my New Years Resolutions. I now want to make the monthly recipe on this calendar in the month it is shown. But honestly they are all so deliscious looking and simple recipes, I perhaps may actually fulfill that resolution!
Yep I am in constant use of my calendar, probably not doing to well when it came to remembering to do things, or dates of importance, or just sentimental dates, (I have a lot of those) without one.
Soooo here's to new calendars and to a New Year.
I wish all who read this the best in New Year's wishes.
And for the hell of it and for my own curiosity, I think I will add a poll for this month on my sidebar asking which kind of Calendars you prefer, Paper, Online, or none at all. If I get any answers I will post them on February 1st to see what all has voted on.
How will I remember to do that?
Well my calendar of course!
Happy New Year !
PEACE!!!

Hassle Me
Would you like to be reminded to o things that perhaps you relly don't want too but know you should. Then perhaps Hassle Me would be for you. I found this site awhile back and thought I would share it with you. Yea you can pretty much do the same thing with a reminder program or a calendar, but something about getting an E-mail from "Hassle Me" always makes me smile which always in turns makes me pay attention. So for the last few months I receive a E-mail every other day that Hassles me by saying "drop down and give me twenty" and for some reason I do it. I never did push ups with reminders nor with calendars, but when Hassle me comes a callin' I listen. Maybe this little site will be the push you need. I have them Hassle Me for a few things and yes I have ignored them a time or two, but not with the push ups. Whatever works, right?
