Today Jani says, "Buy him a new personal calendar, complete with dates he'd like to remember."
This sounds like a great idea. The only catch is I gave him his favorite Dilbert a day calendar in his Christmas stocking. And then there is the fact that he doesn't use a calendar... except to read Dilbert.
I decided to make sure all his important dates are current on his outlook and add a few little notes of my own as well. For example, I am going to pick a day that I know he will be working locally and add an "appointment" to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee after he finishes meeting with his customer.
The possibilities here are endless. One day could include a note to meet by the fire for breakfast before the kids wake up. A walk before he returns to work after lunch on a day in March.
I have decided to add one such "date" to his outlook each month for the year. Then he will have a little surprise to look forward to through the whole year.
Let me know if you have some ideas for other months.
Also, for those waiting for your invitations. Blogger will not give the option to send invitations until I close the blog to the public and make it by invite only. So for those who are waiting, hold on and they will be coming soon.
Kat,
ReplyDeleteI like the calendar idea, and also the way you are using Outlook to make it work for you. I think the once a month “date” will be fun to add; I am going to try that. ☺
♥Hope
P.S. Are you going to keep the verification word? ☺
Well, M already bought his calendar for this year, too, so I guess I'll have to do something similar to what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteDear Hope,
ReplyDeleteSorry about word verification... I can't stand those things! As you know my head has been a little in the clouds... I didn't even know it was on... and seeing as I left a comment there you think I would have noticed! I have turned it off now... and I am glad to see you here:)
Love,
Kat
Hey, Kat~
ReplyDeleteSkippy doesn't use a calendar or Outlook but I have figured out a way to put little notes and dates available for him. I am putting them onto the calendar on his cell phone along with an alarm that will notify him when something is coming up.
I am so loving the once a month date idea as well!
Blessings~

PS. HELLO, HOPE! WE MISS YOU!
Laura,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use hubby's cell phone calendar! I like the alarm idea, too. That's being creative.
