I’ve been running around this week praying for my calf to heal, worrying about my Elvis suit and freaking out about the ETA for my wig…MY WIG! These are not concerns I ever imagined I would have but there it is.So just a quick update to keep you in the loop. I want to thank everyone for their support on my last post! The calf feels MUCH better. Legs are tight but I had a great massage yesterday and I think it’s a go! My motto will be “Slow and Easy”
The Great Santa Run will most likely be a run/walk or slow jog just to see how things hold up.
The Las Vegas Marathon will be slow too. I want to take the opportunity to act the fool and cheer back-o-the-packers on to victory, after all it’s Vegas Baby, everyone needs a bit of the King!
My hair DID NOT arrive today so the GEEKGRL and I went to a local wig shop…her hair didn’t come in either. The GEEKGRL was talking to the shop owner while I was out in the car doing something and apparently the shop owner told GEEKGRL, “When your husband first came in he didn’t say a word he was just really quiet and started looking around…I thought he might be a cross dresser.”
INDEED, a cross dresser! Apparently I fit the M.O. of a cross dresser, big quiet white guy in a wig shop…a lot like Bigun I suppose…hmmm, is there something we don’t know? Apparently these big guys come in quietly and say “Can you make me beautiful?” I must have ruined the moment when all I said was, “I need some Elvis hair.”The other thing…my receipt has “head” on it. Now I don’t know about you but that is one word I never thought I would see on a receipt...even if it is the Styrofoam, wig holding kind.
Finally, my compadre, fellow Outlaw Miguel…he has taken to calling himself “Miguelvis”
Viva Las Vegas BABY!
just make sure there are many many photos!
ReplyDeleteBe careful out there ... and have a fine time!
ReplyDeletethanks...I didn't think anyone knew.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
So many things that could be said here, I don't know where to start.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time - it sounds like a blast!
Have a great time! Lots of pictures of you in that wig now..
ReplyDeleteHave a good time at the races, and if your achilles starts acting up just DNF. The Outlaws need you tearing up the AG ranks next year.
ReplyDeleteMiguelvis...hilarious. I can already hear him with his Columbian accent. Sank ju, Sank ju berry mush.
Have fun but be very, very, very good to that tendon! My brother in law hurt his achilles at the other end, ignored the pain, ripped it right off the bone, had surgery and the recovery has been interminable. We're talking months and months and months.
ReplyDeleteSo - be a sauntering Santa and an Easy Does it Elvis and enjoy your costumes!
i'm glad its feeling better - take it easy for sure, but most of all - have fun. although, dressed as elvis with geekgirl as priscilla? how could you not??
ReplyDeleteTake it easy ... I reckon you've got the right attitude of taking it easy and lapping up the atmosphere with the back of the packers.
ReplyDeleteHave a couple of great races. Positive vibes being sent to help with 'injury'
Mike
pics, pics, we MUST have pics! (and lots of them) You can run with a camera, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Hey, just heard from Bigun that you're doing Vegas. Me too, but not as Elvis. Have a blast!!
ReplyDeleteBig white cross dresser with belerina injeries. Now that's funny! I sure hope you heal up fast. I'm going to need you at my 2nd attempt at IM.
ReplyDeleteHave fun out there and take it easy, you've got trails to run later on...
ReplyDeleteMiguelvis!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sure that if I were a man, I'd be a drag queen.
So what's the price of "head" in NM these days?
ReplyDeleteThat's a receipt you'd either want to burn or frame.
