Blogger's Block

My sweet buddy Sharon was suffering from Blogger's Block awhile back and took the opportunity to reflect on the early years of her marriage. I seem to be having a bit of the block myself, so all 3 readers of my blog will, today, get to find out how I met my incredible man.

It was 1996, and Blake was on every TV in Kansas about 140 times per day! He was so famous. He had dated one of my good friends for awhile, but I never met him while they dated. Now I'm suspicious that she kept me away from him because she secretly understood that we were meant for each other!

I was supposed to be working, but I hated my job and used every opportunity I could to get out of that place. I went to his store to check out a cell phone that I didn't really need and couldn't really afford, and wouldn't you know it - "THE" Blake Baysinger was in the store and was the salesman that helped me. After informing me that Jennifer was his favorite name, I was hooked. Admittedly - I was starstruck. I bought the phone and every accessory and additional service offered. But unfortunately - there was a problem with my activation so (darn it) I had to go back to the store. This is where my version and Blake's version part ways. He claims I stalked him - I claim I didn't. He asked me to see about rounding up some of those small phone books, because their dealer was out. I took it seriously and followed up...what else did I have to do? It's not like I was gonna work at my real job! So when I came back to report that I couldn't find any of the phonebooks THAT HE SENT ME LOOKING FOR he deduced I was a stalker...who he promptly asked out to dinner. I think he's just jealous because his son Marcus has the Chex Mix Stalker, and he wants a stalker of his own! Ha!

We hit it off like crazy and, other than a few blips here and there, dated for about 2.5 years before getting married. Oh...and I ended up getting fired from the job I hated because I went to Cancun when Blake took his whole company as a reward. Can you believe that? My boss just didn't seem to understand my priorities. Actually...I guess he did.
