I think the objects with which you surround yourself can impact your mental state. That’s why I believe something as ubiquitous as your calendar can have a real effect on your day.

We always buy the Broad Channel calendar. Of course, it has the features you’d expect from a wall calendar, but there are two things that make it special. 1. The calendar has fascinating vintage pictures from the neighborhood, and 2. Included are the phases of the moon and high and low tides by which we live. We couldn’t get by without our B.C. calendar.

However, my friend Michele was shopping for her 2015 supplies and came up with the ingenious idea of a post about kooky calendars. I loved the idea, and here it is! Some of them are genius, some are practical, some of them are hilarious, some of them are gross, and some of them are just plain nuts, but they’re certainly surprising!

As with my Etsomnia™ posts, the link below each picture goes to the item for sale.

This is listed as the Coffee Addiction calendar

And speaking of addiction, here's the Man v. Liver calendar

And to cap off the list of hits and misses, here are some misters in the Emotionally Unavailable Guys calendar. Mysteriously, it only got one star.

    I could not agree more about the effect on us of things with which we surround ourselves. And you have reminded me that my request for a new wall calendar for my office this year went unanswered. I hope I can find one of these weird treats when I wander over to the discount calendar shop I hope is still set up in the nearby shopping pedway!

    Business cats? Yes–I love it! But not as much, I think, as I love the Farm Yoga calendar. Who thinks up this stuff??!!
