Jungle Madness – Carly Style
Carly Icon

The Plotmonkeys are all over the place, swapping days this month. Since Julie is in The Happiest Place on Earth (aka Disney World), I’m taking this Friday and she’s taking next Friday. So I thought to myself, what can I do that’s different? And then I realized, it’s still Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so I am going to introduce one lucky person to my favorite site on the Internet, Designergals.com

Every purchase here gives 5 % of the money to support Stage IV Breast Cancer patients via the Gal to Gal Foundation. Gal to Gal recently lost their President, Dorit Shapiro to this disease and you can read about Dorit and her letter here.

Even if you don’t win, I hope you can spare $ 5 to join the Gal to Gal Walk. Celebrities like Larry King and Gwyneth Paltrow already have. So have I. If you can’t, don’t worry, you can help for free, by going to The Breast Cancer Site and clicking. It’s that easy!

And NOW on to your prize for the day:
a $50 Gift Certificate to Design Her Gals where you can go in and create your own Design Her Gal (beware this is time consuming and FREE!) and then with your gift card, purchase stationary, labels, or whatever you choose. I LOVE this place! And I hope you will too.

Here’s the drill. Normally it’s just post to win, but I’m going to make you work for it. This month is also HALLOWEEN. My hubby and I are going to the same party we went to last year. Do you remember who we dressed up as last year? You can post that answer; OR you can guess who we’re dressing up as this year? The party is November 1 and I’ll blog about it the following Thursday. But I’ll let you know on Sunday who we’re going as. So for fun, who did hubby and I dress up as last year? And/or who are we dressing up as this year? (Hint: It wasn’t Carly’s idea or choice, she wanted hubby to be happy and I refuse to wear heavy plastic long sleeve clothing and sweat all evening. Hubby on the other hand, is going to spend the knight sweating in his costume).

Oh. You don’t have to guess correctly to win, but I thought it would make for some fun today!

See you Sunday! :thatsfunny:

CarlyCarly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

    I remember Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife popping up last year in your Halloween Blog.

    We are off to Salem, MA on Sunday for our Holloween treat. Should be fun if it doesn’t rain all day.

    Can’t wait to see the pics of this years costume.

    Last year you went as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife, Beth. Can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up this year! I love to dress for Halloween. I have a huge front porch so I sit out there (in costume) to greet the trick-or-treaters. Great fun! :pumpkin: :snoopy:

    I’m a big hockey nut, and tonight the Detroit Red Wings will be having an awarness night tonight. Some of the players will have pink taped sticks and coaches and commentators will have pink/lavender ties which will be auctioned off. Last year they made over $30,000 from the auction. It’s an awsome thing that one of the players started.

    A couple years ago I dressed as a gothic faerie. I found this black webby wings, spider webbed arm socks, black and white stripped socks and work a jeans skirt with a black cami over a white t-shit. It was quite fun!

    I remember seeing the pix from last year, but I forgot who you both went as so I’m gonna make a guess for this year’s party. I think your hubby is going as a knight in shining armor and you’ll be his fair princess. How’s that guess?

    TGIF everyone! Enjoy your weekend!

    I’m going to go check out that site. As Carly said it’s breast cancer awareness month so PLEASE schedule your mammogram if you haven’t already. I got the results for mine yesterday and I’m healthy. :party:

    Have a great Friday all. Thanks for being here. The jungle is such a cool, safe place to be. :thankyou:

    Beth and Dog the Bounty Hunter. My friends went as Kevin Federline and Britney Spears last year. It was really cute, however i think it doomed them relationship-wise as it did for Britney and Kevin.

    That is a great site Carly, thanks for sharing. I loved the pictures from last year with y’all as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth. I’m guessing your husband will be a knight this year and you will be a queen. I’m going to a Halloween party next week too, but I’m running into trouble with my costume. Must find the final pieces this weekend.

    Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

    Ok don’t remember last year but other people seem to.
    If he is going to sweat, either the costume covers a lot or it doesn’t it. Maybe a gladiator or his honey

    Well I know everyone has said Dog & Beth which I do remember now, but for some reason my first thought was Fred & Wilma??

    This year I’m thinking your going as Guinevere and Sir Lancelot? Which is very romantic….and maybe a little uncomfortable for your husband, but I hope you have a great time!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Hi Carly,
    Yea, you and your hubby Rocked it as Dog and his wife last year.

    My guess for this year is that your husband will be Batman The Dark Knight. I guess you will be Bat Girl or either Batman’s Rachel. :monkey

    I was searching through the archives and couldn’t find it but then I remembered that it was Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife (no, I didn’t see the other posts). This year, hmmm….Princess Diana and ?.

    I love Design her gals (I have their notecards, plus I love that they donate some of their profits). Hubby laughed at what my ‘person’ looked like. Oh well..

    Happy weekend!

    I’m going to guess :bat:man and :cat: woman for this year. :dominatrix:

    lol so previous comments told me you went as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife. This year, some sort of knight due to the armor and… the actual couple I’m a bit less sure. :P The plastic clothing I think has thrown me off.

    Good morning Carly,

    I wasn’t here last year, but I’m loving the visual of Dog & Beth! I have no imagination so I asked the hubby; I won’t repeat his 1st answer but his 2nd was Sumo wrestlers & he figured you aren’t wearing all the “muscles” just the loin clothes (& of course cloth wrapped around the top parts)!!!! His crazy mind not mine!!

    Have a great weekend everybody,
    Susan

    Well, since I cheated and read all the previous posts (Hi everyone!!) I know, or should I say that my memory was refreshed, that you went as Dog and Beth. This year could be a Sir or a Knight with you as a Lady in Waiting or a Princess. Have a great weekend all.

    I didn’t read the others so I couldn’t cheat. And I don’t remember who you were dressed as for Halloween, but I do remember the night you were dressed in a little black dress and he had the top down on the car. :rotfl1: Does that count as my guess? :giggle:

    What a cool website, too! I’ve never heard of Gal to Gal but I spent a few minutes going through the site and loved it. Thanks for the introduction!

    Hope it’s a great weekend for everyone!

    I wasn’t around last year, so I have no clue what you were. But I’m going to guess that he might be Lancelot and you’ll be Guinevere this year given your hint about his ‘knight’ sweating in his costume.

    Friday video at Trashybooks.com is a nice montage of couples, including Heath in 10 things I hate about you. I love that movie. And there is Batman and Catwoman. And Izzy and Denny. And Daniel Craig. Wet. OMG.

    “Ticket.” (Sarah Palin & John McCain) But you mentioned knight. How about Guinevere & Lancelot?

    Well, because you mention Knight and long sleeved plastic clothing, the only thing I can think of is the Dark Knight 2008 Batman movie. As a medieval Knight wouldn’t really be plastic. The problem is that there really isn’t a big female star in the Dark Knight. So the only thing that I can think of for Carly would be Catwoman or Batgirl.

    Have a great weekend everyone! :party:

    WoW! People sure do remember that you were Beth & her husband, Dog.
    Since you did give the big hint of a knight for your husband, SO you are going as the Queen of England or as the Princess Bride or as the knight’s page.
