Blood, Sweat and Tears

As a surprise housewarming gift for my husband, I traded web design services and slave labor from my sister, for a painting of my husband cycling. I gave the artist a race picture and full artistic freedom. This is what I got.

He titled it Blood, Sweat and Tears. I like it, but I’m a little confused – I gave him a sunny picture of Michael cycling with little flowers in the background. Do you see any flowers in this painting? Michael loves it so I guess it doesn’t really matter. But, then again, this is the same man who did this the first night our pool was operational. And thought it was so funny he did it over and over again, abusing the pool spray in ways pool sprays should not be abused.

I’m not sure if I’m really, really lucky to have this man as a husband, or if I’m just plain insane.

Probably a little of both!

Manly men don’t go riding with smiles on their faces through fields of flowers with little puppies chasing after them. They ride in the rain pumping hard until their eyeballs bleed and their legs beg for mercy and IT HURTS AND THEY ARE MEN!

You are clearly married to a manly man. A manly man with a sense of humor. I do belive that’s a good thing.

I like the painting. What a great idea for a gift.

I’d steer clear of that man on his long bike races – I think I know how he avoids losing precious seconds.

you might have a hard time compromising on a suitable place to hang it. I know I would.

As soon as they discover all the cool things to do with their penis at like two years old, it just never ends. I am actually a little jealous, only a little though. Great masthead, love the shoes.

I would get your money back. I thought you were saying he hosed the painting hence the paint drips?…but no.

OMG that is so Michael!!! Nice painting, even without the flowers!

He’s probably using the pool spray to help recover after a ride. I hear the “parts” get a little abused. I like the painting and would agree with 21st century mom.

I think the painting is great. Regarding the pool issue it reminds me of the fact that men seem to laugh the hardest at jokes they create themself using bodily funtions. So you are probably neither of the above. You just don’t understand because you don’t have ***** to fit into your cycling shorts which allows bodily funcion jokes to be understood and funny.
