An
Insult-a-Day: 2005 Day-to-Day Block Calendar
by Kathryn Petras, Ross Petras
Truth be told, most of us are not
fast enough on the draw to respond to an insult or argument with a
snappy and sharp retort. It always seems to be the next morning when
we think of the perfect comeback to that comment from the rude barista
or coworker. The Insult-A-Day 2005 Calendar is the answer to those
day-late and dollar-short moments. The calendar is based on The 776
Nastiest Things Ever Said, a part of the best-selling Stupidest book
series that has sold more than 2 million copies. The calendar's daily
pages are filled with the comments and barbs of the quick-witted and
the tart-tongued, such as American Idol judge Simon Cowell telling a
contestant, "Don't take this the wrong way, but I prefer you when I
close my eyes," or Muhammad Ali asserting that "If they can make
penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of
you." A year's worth of barbs will have readers chuckling every single
day, right along with those who managed to have the last word.

Wildflowers
2005 Calendar
At a time when wild spaces are
increasingly rare, our need to experience the wonder and regenerative
power of the natural world takes on a certain urgency. Whether we find
it through travel in distant lands, hiking trips across meadows and
parks or a simple stroll along the banks of a river, the welcome sight
of wildflowers is always part of that world. Sometimes subtle,
sometimes extravagant, these common, uncultivated plants -- growing in
the unlikeliest habitats -- come to us in a most uncommon range of
shapes, sizes and colors. The 12 images in Wildflowers 2005 reflect
this wonderful diversity all year long.

Out
on the Porch Wall Calendar 2005
Warm days and cool nights. The sound of
a lake lapping on shore, crickets chirping, the patter of a soft
spring rain. Look up, there's a view. Sit back in your rocking chair
and rock a bit. Everything becomes a little more special out on the
porch. It's the room between the house and the world--it's where we go
to escape, to daydream, to talk, or just to watch dusk settle over the
neighborhood. Now in its twelfth season, the perennially successful
Out on the Porch Calendar returns with another year of wonderfully
transporting porches. A rustic wooden porch with a view of rolling
hills and distant mountains. A spacious white-painted veranda steps
from a lake. Each is an invitation to sit and stay awhile. The
photographs are accompanied by evocative quotes from literature.

Dreams
Page-A-Day Calendar 2005: A Daily Guide to Their Hidden Meanings
by Alexis Quinlan
It's Freud, not on the couch but on the page. Jung in a calendar, not
on the mountaintop. It's all the fun of dream interpretation, with no
need for a box of tissues. Filled with symbols, archetypes, lore,
sample interpretations, and tips for remembering and deciphering,
Dreams is the key to a vast and inscrutable world. Dark skies, rain,
and thunder: an ominous sign from the subconscious? Not necessarily. A
dream garden as a mirror of your inner self. Plus dreams and ancient
cultures, recurring dreams, and quotes: "A dream which is not
understood is like a letter that is unopened." (The Talmud)
