title: Creating a Calendar/Planner Application - Ruby on Rails
body: <p>I am considering developing an application using Ruby on Rails that is a planner of sorts. I would like to give a user the ability to see a list of days, click a particular day, and then add things like: Meals, Expenses, Events, Todos, and Exercises. Really I am doing this for me and my growing family. </p>
  
  <p>I am curious with how best to implement this. I can certainly see that Meals, Expenses, etc. need to belong_to :user but I am curious how to implement the belongs_to :day or something like that. Using the created_at or updated_at wouldn't necessarily allow me to provide views for future dates.</p>
  
  <p>I can see how if I created a Days table and then added days through a time and date field that this would work but seems a little strange to ask people to create the actual days. </p>
  
  <p>Or perhaps instead of that I could just create links to variables that search for @today, @tomorrow, but that would get messy.</p>
  
  <p>I have browsed for gems/plugins but can't find one that works. Ideally a person would be able.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have any thoughts on how to implement something like this?</p>
