Just in the nick of time. Today, December 28, 2008, I managed to finish a 2009 calendar/diary. It has blue Japanese paper as a cover, with light blue paper as endpapers. Coptic binding with black waxed thread and white pages. This was supposed to have been finished as a Christmas present but all sorts of delays ensued, not the least of which was me spending four hours handwriting the dates only to discover while writing November that I skipped a day back in March or April. Usually I don't mind skipping days but when they are in a permanent document that will be used over and over again as the year progresses, well, I felt I had to do something. So I started over and my, wasn't that fun. Here, if you turn your computer sideways (here's hoping you have a laptop), you can see the handy (pun alert!) size: fits well into a jacket pocket or the pocket on some briefcases. Also, in a purse, if you carry one. What did I learn from this escapade? Well, first, start your yearly diaries and calendars early. Well before December 24th, I'd say - just as a rule of thumb anyway. In fact, I just finished the weekly calendar for a calendar for 2010. Thinking ahead, I am. Also, be very, very careful of dates and days. For some reason these are important in calendary/diaries. I don't know why. I like the hand-written monthly calendar but I didn't like the hand-written weekly calendar, so I xeroxed a page and used that. Not the best solution but workable. Overall, I'd say this rates 3.5 stars out of five.
