As we proceed into the year 2009, I have nothing remotely important to say. No rants, no raves, no social work ramblings, no nifty bible scriptures, no transparent confessions. Nada.
Wait, wait, wait. Methinks that an update about Get a Date in 2008 is in order. How could I forget?! Today is indeed Dec 31, 2008 and the idea (among some close friends) was to secure a “date” by 11:59 pm tonight. What started out as a tongue in cheek joke actually came to pass. The results show all four succeeding in securing dates or boyfriends. My best friend accomplished a 5 yr goal by meeting someone and getting married. Always above and beyond, that girl.
As for myself, my date and I made multiple visits to Monterey, Carmel, San Jose, Hollister, Santa Cruz, & Moss Landing. We took a motorcycle ride, shot pistols, took airplane ride(s), ate sushi, he gave me flowers and technological gadgets, and took me on countless trips to every Target/DSW within a 100 mile radius of SC. Our cell phone bills have seen cheaper days. I won't bore you with the fascinating details. I will clue you in on a secret: I think my 2008 was pretty much fabulous from beginning to end, and Get a Date in 2008 was a success.
My Date :
Is a man with a plan? Check.
Bible believing? Check.
Understands Java, HTML, C++, Ruby on Rails, and any other computer science garb? Check.
Speaks Portuguese? Check.
Pretty much awesome overall? Hmmmmm. Check
Yay! Quickly moving into 2009. Now, help me think of a new phrase for the New Year. :o)
I'm steadily working on my financial, educational, personal, and spiritual resolutions, and am ready for the New Year. Merry New Year. Cheers. Here's to 2009!

Wow, great job, being able to "check" off all your resolutions. Hope 2009 will be filled with blessings, and lots of fun.
You learned Portugese??? I can't even SPELL Portugese! LOL! Way to go!
Your 2009 phrase should be.
"2009! The Year of Chandra!" lol ... it shall be known throughout the land.
uhhh no. lol My man with a plan is in full possession of those qualities. He speaks Portuguese, etc. Not me. He's the one that took me to all of those aforementioned places. This blog is basically stating that Get a Date in 2008 was a success and why it was successful. :O)
Hmm, now if you could just give out the name of this wonderful person. ;)
You guys are both Fantastic individuals. 2009 will for no doubt be quite an adventure. :)

Hmmm,
Can I sing a song here? one about boots and jean...skirts, yeah that's it! As for your new phrase for 09........
"In 2009 the watch is mine"
I have a list of '09 themes on my blog. Best one of all - Don't whine, in '09.
Congrats on the date. Maybe you could talk David and Bryn into a double date. LOL
I'm NOT shooting the wedding. I better be in the bridal party. Looks like me and my boy need a talk ;)

Chandra - Congratulations my friend! I think your date is pretty wonderful myself. Lucky guy!
In Dr. Laura's words, your phrase for 2009 should be: Get a Ring and a Date! LOL
CORRECTION:That last comment from Sam Hassas was actually from me: MONICA HASSAS Sorry for the confusion! LOL
Congratulations, Chandra! Glad you were successful in finding a Portugese-speaking, God-seeking, tech-loving, man-with-a-plan in 2008! He is a good one.... but, then again, so are you. Congrats again!

i was trying to think of a clever "... in '09" but i'm not feeling particularly clever at the moment!
Yay for a successful resolution! =)
WOOOO HOO!!!!!!! :O)
Engagement time in 2009. I heard about this one CHANDRA!!!! uhh huuu you knoow.
Engagement???? What's that?! :o)
Hmm for some reason I was really into a guy that knew Java, HTML and C++ too...what is it about the nerds? Haha j/k Congrats on finding a date
Hadassah: there's just something about a man that knows the ends and outs of the computer science world. Maybe it is their inate ability to craft a web page, build an application from scratch, or read html as if it is English. Yummy!! ha!!
