itchy, sunburned chest - Zebra style

Went to a lake this weekend with some friends. Going to the lake means different things for different age groups. For the elderly, it means relaxing away from the house, near water and with that boat (or houseboat) that you saved year after year for while sending kids to college and saving for retirement, all while working a soul-depriving job that fulfilled you only in the terms that it paid the bills.
For kids it's time to have fun and spend energy away from the house and play in water. I'm not a kid and here's what I like to do at the lake - sun and drink. So as I set myself up for this fun in the sun adventure, I put on sunglasses (yeah - prescription, you know it) opened a bottle of
beer and sat down with my feet in the water and waited for the sunblock to come around to me sausage-like, way-to-knuckly fingers. And when I sprayed my body down with the poorly designed mist spray sunblock, I thought I was then prepared to bath in the glorious yellow ball of fire billions of miles away in comfort. But I'm not as smart as Einsteine (added the "e", get it? niice; Wifey - please don't edit. All please note: not my real manboobs - thank you to google images), and I didn't bother to rub the fine mist spray once it was applied to the (awesome) body. So now I have some wonderful redness on the tops of the knees and beautiful striping effect on the chest, down to the deep belly button. You know, I'm looking at it now, and it's really more of a "V", or an upside down "A". A for Awesome. Niice.

PS -
BTW - been seeing spots most of the day. Really most of the days since the wedding on Sat. night. Not cool. And a headache keeps recurring as well. I don't care for either of those, but especially not when they are together.


Here you can see what a head that is seeing spots looks like -->.

I know what you mean about spray sun block buddy...u forgot to mention burnt toes and flip flop tan. But going to the lake was worth it.

P.S. Carolyn has blonde hair!
