I got mine yesterday!:D
 
I didn't get it either.:cry:
 
Got mine today in AL
 
Still didn't get mine either... it would have been nice to have it to take to my bazaar tomorrow! :D
 
I got mine yesterday!
 
I called HO on Friday about mine since I just recently signed up. The one they sent me in my kit came with a 2007 and they were just mailing out the 2008 when I ordered. According to them they will be going over this week whom they mailed too and whom they didn't and make sure they get them out to everyone. So if they somehow missed getting some people's calenders out, they are going to make sure they go out this week.
 
Still waitin for mine in SoCal, anyone else out here not get theres? :(
 
Bummer... I still didn't get mine today :cry:
 
I got mine Friday and I wasn't all impressed. I like a fatter calendar like the old one from Franklin Covey. I might have to find another one. The black cover that I got will feel empty.
 
I got my replacement calendar in today's mail (my first one was all bent and wrecked).

I've made up some that are a cross between the HO calendar and the FC planners. There's info in: http://www.chefsuccess.com/357956-post64.html
 
I just received mine. Being that I am in the Hispanic Market, I received mine in Spanish. I'm really not too crazy about it and I think I'm going to go ahead and order a planner from Ann.

My opinion: I dont like the products or food on the cover b/c if someone sees me out and about looking at my planner, and they see food or products on it, they automatically know that I'm with PC and dont talk. Maybe with no pic on it, they may ask.... Ya never know. I've actually seen people walk by and see my calendar ( I lay it on the table when we go out to eat so people see it or a catalog) and whisper to the person they're with.

I do agree that its free! IT works and it costed me nothing! ;)

Finally got mine today & spent the afternoon filling it in! Now hopefully I'll be able to fill it in completely with shows!!!
 
I am with Linda. Those of us in Georgia just don't have ours yet! Funny thing is I got a booking for March on Saturday. I would love to put it in my new calendar!

I'm confused. You mean that when you are out and about, looking at your personal calendar that you would get more people asking you about it then if it was obviously a PC one? I would think you would get more people asking if they know that you are a PC consultant.
 
Got mine but it's all bent up?

Yeah, ITA, just like carrying around my PC catalog tote, if they are interested after seeing my catalog tote they will ask me for one!;)
 
I'm still waiting in California. Must be they send them out by states or regions. Being on the left coast means it takes a bit longer.
