I needed to try on my uniform in case things needed to be exchanged. Luckily everything fits.
And I now have my wardrobe for the next 5 weeks. Nothing like grocery shopping dressed like this:
And to the dentist like this:
And I promised my teen sons that I would answer the door to their friends dressed like this:
They seem to think I’m kidding. They don’t understand that being 44 years old takes away pretty much all of the “Oh, that would be embarrassing” parts of one’s personality. And heck, I grew up in the ’80s. You couldn’t spend your weekends dancing to Frankie Goes to Hollywood dressed like Madonna if you had any real sense of embarrassment,
And it could be worse – I could have gotten the hooded unitard I thought I ordered.
Happy Running!

If I had a USA team uniform I’d wear it everyday too. 🙂 Enjoy!
If *I* earned a spot on a national team and had a USA uniform, I’d wear it everywhere but in the shower. 🙂 You go, girl.
Really Carilyn! You wouldn’t actually wear a hooded unitard in public when your sons knew about it would you? Believe me I understand; my beard (its about chest length by the way) used to embarrass the life out of our oldest daughter when she was 16. Now all our kids think its awesome – go figure :).
Looks good – especially the white jacket. And if you need a hooded unitard, all I need is your measurements. Hey, it worked for Cathy Freeman. Velvet, printed or foil?
I may have to take you up on that Char! 🙂
Awesome, Kent! 🙂
I LOVE embarrassing my girls the same way. When you get to your 40s you have no shame — at least in the way you’ve described. I fondly remember the Frankie and Madonna phases too.
Thanks for stopping by, Jen! It is funny how we find ourselves doing things we SWORE we would never do 🙂
