A friend of mine (chalkhorse) did a Brushwood calendar on Lulu as a fundraiser. I did not know that Lulu did calendars.

If I did one, would anyone be interested in buying one? The cost is $12.49 per unit, so I would probably price them at around $15. I'm not looking to make a mint. I just want to be able to offer them to people who are interested, because I can't afford to just have them printed. I like this print-on-demand thingy.

If enough people are into it, I'll go ahead and put one together. Let me know!

Every month, I make a calendar page at BigHugeLabs to hang up in my cubicle, and it just occurred to me (as I was making November) that other people might like to use them, too. So here is November:




You can go download your own copy of it here. Each month, I use a photo I took in that month.

Do you like this idea? Want me to keep doing this? Let me know!

I was surprisingly ready to come back to work today. I guess 11 days of doing nothing was quite enough! I didn't exactly do nothing, but close enough. The last few days, especially the weekend, I was too much inside of my head, worrying about stuff and fighting the resultant anxiety. It's good to be distracted by my regular routine at work.

It didn't take me too long to get caught up, either. Of course, last week was probably the slowest week of the year here. No disasters have come up yet, which is a relief.

I've even had time to clean up my desk, which is a lot easier since the big purge a while back. I've been keeping the paper at a manageable level since then.

There was some freezing rain overnight, but the only effect it had on my commute this morning was taking a few extra minutes to scrape it off the windows. The roads were just fine. It looks like we might not be that lucky on Wednesday, but there's still time for that to change, and for them to get it completely wrong anyway. *fingers crossed*

I've been making calendar pages each month at fd's Flickr Toys to hang in my cubicle, and this is the pic I chose for February:



I've been using pix taken in the month that the page is for. I took this one last February, at Stanley Park. I love this old barn; it's so photogenic! It was such a nice, sunny day, too. Rare for February!

This is the one I used for January:



I took this one the day of Vinnie's mom's funeral, at the old cemetery in West Springfield. It's one of my very favorites.
