Blackmail or Public Service Announcement?

by lucy on April 25, 2012

I cannot tell a lie! We enjoy that bright orange thing in the sky! I know it can kill but we love it!!

Strolling at Courthouse Vista!

The skies have been deep blue with hardly a cloud in sight!

Long View of Cathedral Rock!

Oh, now, sometimes a beautiful marshmallow cloud pops up but luckily it never seems to block the sun, although sometimes you wouldn’t mind after strolling around in the hot dust.

Yesterday, we took a break from the views! We decided to hang at the pool for a couple of hours.

Living in Sedona I am careful with my skin.  I put sunscreen on daily,along with wearing a hat!

Most pictures I have my hat on!

My husband’s habits are different.  He forgets his hat and he whines like an eight year old boy about wearing sunscreen.

I counter, “Listen, you are a grown man but seriously you should wear sunscreen.”

For some reason going to the pool triggered a  sunscreen application for him,go figure?  Unfortunately the man is a moron.

Here is how one should not apply sunscreen!

My husband wanted to get to the pool and back, it is not his favorite past time.  Nope, he rather be ……..

Courthouse Vista Views!

Hiking or golfing but he goes to the pool with me to be a loving, supportive husband and figures he will score brownie points or something *wink*!

But, if you are married,or have been married or have lived with a guy, well, you know how they do things lovingly, right?

Quickly.  I knew I would get just a couple hours at the pool and he wanted me to get moving.

I was reading on the back porch and he came to the door, “Hey Lucy, I already lathered up with sunscreen.”

I put my book down, looked up and saw him fully dressed and said, “When? You were sitting here a minute a go?”

He quickly answered, “Yeah, well, you said you wanted to go to the pool so I came in and changed, I didn’t want to get my good shirt smelly with that sunscreen shit, so I lathered up and changed.  I am going to walk the dog. Be ready when I get back.”

Well, there you go, boom! I guess I was given orders and notice the “changed my good shirt so it wouldn’t smell from sunscreen?”  That is why he doesn’t wear it.  He can’t stand the smell but what an idiot.  He needs it.  I just shake my head.

I followed the orders!

We enjoyed our two hours basking in the sun.

The idiot burned.  I have wonderful, awesome,blackmail pictures.  I won’t put them  up. yet.  Insert evil grin!   His belly is red.  Yes, Lobster red.  Even better he looks like he has the measles.  Or a some weird ass, bad disease.  He is odd, blotchy red.

Here is the deal.  My sweetheart slapped the sunscreen on fast.  Didn’t do an even spread, then he immediately put a shirt on following his quick application job.  Probably wiping half the sunscreen off.  To make matters worse, he took the dog for a short walk and remember, it is hot.  My husband broke out in a little sweat.  Yeah, c’mon moms, and intelligent human beings, hell, I bet a 10 year old knows what happened?  The sunscreen wiped right off!

We went to the pool.  We soaked up the sun for two hours straight and Oh, how I wish I could show you his burnt belly and chest.  But, you know, I need those photos for other things.  I have a car to negotiate!

How would you use the Blackmail pictures?
