Default Line Chart for Dates

Done Date
client 1 1/1/08
client 2 3/1/08
client 3 7/23/08
etc... ect....

My spreadsheet looks like the above.

I'd like to to create a line chart that will show the bottom chart line all
the dates in the year starting with 1/1/08 thru 12/31/08 and my line to to
represent the above dates plotting the dates within the bottom chart line so
we can see where our busy time of the year is.

I'm trying the chart wizard on the above spreadsheet format but it's not
giving me the format I want?

Suggestions???

Thanks in advance!

Date is your X value. You need some data for Y as well.
