I Listened To My Wife
>> Saturday, December 20, 2008
“Get ready for our trip to Mexico,” she said.
“Build a base-tan,” she said.
“This place sells 1/2 sessions,” she said.
Well, do they sell 1/8 sessions? Because a 1/2 session worked a little TOO well (note my regular skin-tone in my armpits):
(p.s. Pharmie didn't MAKE me go. It's not her fault. The first 3 lines of this post were just for effect...)

hairy bastard.
YOWCH!
How about forgetting the base tan & just slathering on the SPF100 for the whole time? Your skin looks a little sun-averse :)
OUCHHHHHHHH!
Ouchie. Best just to soak in a vat of aloe, me thinks. That way you can peel off in one go, like a snake. :)
I'm with JoyRuN - skip the base tan and use some good sunscreen.
I will, i will, i will
Rub aloe on your back!!!
WOOHOO!!! Have fun!!!
When and where will you be in Mexico? I'm leaving soon. Let me know...
Are you SURE that was a 1/2 session?! Yikes
I'm COMPLETELY sure it was a 1/2 session. I didn't trust the timer on the bed, so I double checked on my watch. It was a 1/2 session down to the second.
My problem is just that I'm sooo pale...
Im so not laughing AT YOU.
with you.
are you laughing??
Monday i will show you my melanoma scar. And then you can have a GOOD reason to just not tan...in a bed or on the beach..sadly...I know.
it always looks red at first but it'll be a nice tan in a few days and you won't be Mr. Pale in Mexico! :)
Eek! Ack! Oock! Owzer!
You should've just gone for the spray-on tan.
This is definitely GROSS !!!!
Ouch! Try spray-tan next time... or try wearing a light sunscreen. Or try... I dunno... NOT tanning.
You were so careful not to burn them, now look! Steve "The Lobster" Stenzel.
From the back, you look like a Swedish wrestler. Tor Johnson in "Bride of the Monster"
or "The Beast of Yucca Flats."
I bet it glows in the dark. Saves on tree lights, but scares kitty something aweful.
If you go jogging topless Christmas Eve (in pink tights, too, as we all know is your wont), they'll think you're Lobstora, attacking Santy Claus....
Please, wack that guy.
P.S. Chowder, anyone?
In the future you should use Sunblock SPF Level Vampire.
Oh boy.
Have a blast in Mexico!!!!
Tonight, on The Cannibal Channel ...
Braised Minnesotan.
Should Minnesotans be eaten with the fingers?
Yes, because it's sooo much trouble to remove the fingers.
(But ... remove the toes. They're sooo hairy. And blistery.)
I vote yes on issue sun block.
When are you going to Mexico? From here on out, your 1/2 sessions, need to be 1/2 of a 1/2.
Ow..that looks painful.
ouch...soaked tea bags might help...although that's a lot of tea bags!
You should have gone for the spray tan like all the stars. That's what happens when Minnesotans try to tan in the winter. Are bodies are not ready for it.
Ouch! Lovely introduction, btw. First time coming to your blog and I get to check out your red hot bod, ha! I think they still do spray on tans somewhere. ;-)
Be thankful you didn't tan in the buff!
Now that would hurt!
Just don't do this!

Who knew a Yeti could get sunburned?
The reason we do triathlons is to have good tan lines... why get a tan any other way?
You pale Minnesotans need to pace yourselves with exposure to the UV rays.
I hate to break it to you but I think you, like me, have two shades. Very white or Very red...
Ouch! Does sunscreen come in SPF 2,000?
Only you would strip down to your undies and take pictures of yourself to prove a point. Good luck trying to sleep.
Reminds me of the time I actually coated the wall of my shower in aloe just so i could slather it on the bits i couldn't reach on my back.
Be thankful you have a kind sweet Pharmie to do it for you :-P
Geez...that's crazy. I can't imagine what the sun will do to you! Have a great trip!
Well, your wife has the right idea - but, you do need to go to shorter sessions until your skin can handle it. Better to prep now...so you can enjoy being outdoors in MX. Is this your holiday vacation?
Hey Steve, did you notice how your upper body is changing a little? Looks to me like the exercise sessions are building more muscle. Yawza!!
Dammit! I know better. Do NOT drink coffee while opening Steve's posts.
Now, excuse me while I clean snorted coffee off my computer screen.
Neutrogena has a spray on Sunblock SPF 70. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your "base tan" will be inadequate to protect your lilly-whiteness from the Mexico sun.
Have a great time in Mexico!
I've heard the vinegar is good for taking out the burn. Maybe not so good for staying married ('cause you'll stink to high Heaven), but then again, neither is forcing your spouse to go for a half-session (j/k). :~P
I am so happy that I am a natural "mocha" color. God I can't believe you have to go through all that. Ouch.
