Find a Mate in '08!

Ok, so new year's resolutions are a good thing. I can agree with that. But really, I think this falls under the category of a 'bad goal'. Isn't there something about goals that says they need to be reachable? Or that they also have to be something you personally have control over? Many will argue and say this is a reachable goal. Well...you're probably married.

Ok, so you're probably right; it "technically" is reachable. And I suppose I might have a little control over whether or not I get married. I mean, I have to be the one to say 'yes' when he proposes, right? Still...I thought I would try to make a little bit more pro-active, reachable, realistic goal: "Find a Date in '08". Actually, I have set my goal specifically as "go on one date a month". How hard can that be?

So far, I have found it not too difficult. All I have to do is inform people (boys) about my goal and they seem perfectly willing to oblige. Or...at least they seem perfectly willing to joke about obliging. So, I have decided to broaden my scope and tell the world (all 3 who read this and probably already know about this goal) in the hopes that you, too, will be willing to assist me in my endeavors of at least one date a month. So, go ahead...let the dates start pouring in! And, thanks, in advance :)

WOW. That is an amazing goal. I was thinking of just setting the goal of getting ONE date in '08. Look at you being all ambitious!

P.S. You are in Afghanistan? Is Walter with you?

Melissa-
No new posts? Well, I imagine you posted something about your new painting. So here is my comment, "Wow, that is so good. You are so talented. Will you come paint a mural in my house of Noah's Ark so when I have a baby it will be able to learn all of it's animals? Otherwise I am not sure how it will learn about them."
