I also really appreciate all the kind words and well wishes you've left here. This plague (thanks Anna) has left me knocked flat out and absent for most of the past couple days. Yesterday I asked if it was Wednesday...er, not so much. The Chef's been stopping by to make sure I've still got plenty of dark chocolate, pink grapefruit and broth aka my daily bread and all I seem to be able to eat. At times like these I realize how lucky I am to have someone who cares about participating in my day to day - every day.
Like a couple of weeks ago when we went to the flea market
and the 85yr old guy at the Native American head dress booth
- who was wearing white sweat socks on his hands just because -
wouldn't sell me the head dress unless I
agreed to also buy the chaps and "pistolis" - wait for it -
...to go with the coordinating cowboy outfit. Um, no?
What is a pistoli you ask? A kid's plastic cap gun. Actually a pair of them. In between trying not to collapse over sock hands and the feather head dress I'd thrown on in effort to make my best plea (i mean really can you just imagine the outfit posts?? don't worry i haven't given up...), the Chef began bartering with the guy trying to talk pistoli. At which time he accidentally shot off a cap and I had to fake bending down to tie my flip flop in order not to completely lose it.
White sweat socks on hands are also a faux pas fashion statement to be explored. Perhaps we should do that challenge next...thoughts?
Bringin' the white denim action today we have:
- Kai - All Kinds of Complicated
- Lisa - In Dramatic Fashion - ooooh hers is already up and she is looking the SASS
- Higgenbottom - Dressing the Higgenbottom
- Ashleigh - Little Girl, Big World
- Kara - Sprinkles in Springs - she also featured me as her blogger of the month and did some insane artwork to go along with the interview. Check it here if you haven't already...That button's going up on my blog as soon as I can sit up again!
Here's hoping I can somehow get mobile, bathe and get outside to have my post ready for Thursday. Dancing on the edge yet again. Argh

Yeah, I saw the posts and the outfits are amazing!! Lovely ideas you have babe :D
This sock really confuses me, I kinda don´t like the pic... kind of a white-sock-phobie? Dunno!
Go bathe and get well soon :)

Ok I cracked up at the pistolis story.
Keep watching Felicity, I'm sure its going to help. Do you know what this plague is? Bubonic? (I don't think I know any other plagues.) Flu? Crud? My Mom always used to diagnose me with The Crud. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but she'd probably say you have it. (If it is, you lay on the couch and watch TV until it passes.)
I have to bust up laughing. Imagine walking up to a booth and the flea market and having an elderly man approach you wearing white sweat socks on his hands. Imagine it...he had nothing wrong w/his hands (b/c i saw them later) - he was totally just wearing whack old socks on his hands. Then the Chef put them on a couple days later and was walking around to see if I'd notice. BAHAHAHAHA!!
k back to bed now. my 2 hour quota is up
that was AT the flea market...see I'm out of it.
and katie? this goes beyond the crud. can't eat anything except broth, dark chocolate and citrus. head spins, stomach spins, sore throat, cough and sound like chain smoker. this is like crud to the nth degree...ask your mom what that one is.
i need a pistoli. or is that a canoli?
I'm not sure, maybe you need a shot of whiskey. (Now I've moved past my Mom to my Granddad's recommendations. Welcome to the South, every family member will have a remedy and 5 stories for any sickness you have.)
Hmm so flu maybe? Gah, I'm no doctor but if it's in your chest AT ALL, get to one and get some medicine. I know you said you've have pneumonia before. Pneumonia, bronchitis, anything like that is noooo bueno.
really hope you feel better soon lovely lady. Sounds like you are having a terrible time of it. Hugs to you
Bxx

Too funny. I can just picture the whole scene!! xo

Poor thing - feel better! Hoping the broth gets you up and running soon!

Tube sock gloves... I'm not sure I could Handel that, maybe as arm warners, if they were bedazzled?
Nah, I'll pass!
But the headdress would have been awesome.
I don't believe in the "no white after labor day rule," who made that up? i am sure they weren't qualified!
hey, come check out my giveaway!
You know, i was about to say no to the whole white socks on the hands being the next challenge... But on second though, that would actually be pretty funny to have a bunch of us post photos wearing them. But we'd have to not say anything about the challenge on our blogs so that when people see a bunch of sock wearing bloggers on a particular day they're like wth?? Ha like a flash mob on the web... U know april fools day is coming up...
Too funny - that would have made one hell of an outfit post!

those native american booth guys get you every time... haha there's an award waiting for you on my blog today! : )
Awww Carrie, I do hope you feel better soon - that sounds like the pits. My post is up now if you're bored & need something to look at :)
Seriously adored this challenge, I'm not much of an outfit poster (1st timer!) so it was great to have a little push - open to any more you wanna throw out, except maybe sock hands :)
Firstly, I was you, you were me last week. Wanting to die...Hoping to die... It passes. I had to have a severe round of antibiotics but all in all, it passed. Thank God for friends and boyfriends {not that I have the latter, but ya know, it for sure would've come in handy!}
You're a smart lady, Jude Law will make anyone feel better! and you will my beauty, you will!
xx tash

Hahah, too funny!! Feel better :)
Too funny, (not the sick part) O have some new winter white cords I need to shorten! Am off to check the links!

Wait...How did he shoot the pistoli with socks on his hand? That sounds dangerous.
pobre cita! i hope you feel better soon. yeah, something's going around. due to the pound of snot i had to blow out of my head this morning, i'm out of commission for the day also.
the white denim in winter challenge is going marvelously. i'm further inspired and looking forward to the next challenge!
Those girls are looking good! Glad to hear Chef is keeping you stocked and happy-he is such a sweetheart!
I think we can aptly call this the white plague. Here's to hoping for Thursday's photo shoot!
k i just got up and am only 50% woozy. this is a good thing.
now @Nikki - chef didn't have the sock on his hand. the other guy did. chef accidentally set the pistoli off.
and dancing branflake? um yes: it is the white plague. possibly a revival of the black and maybe even a purple one, too. horrid!
I am sick too! Isn't it the pits (and I don't mean brad). I can barely swallow. In any event, your winter white challenge is awesome and I've been enjoying it.
xo Marcie
PS- I am finally doing a giveaway of L'Occatine products.
Haha your posts crack me up without fail, every time!
Poor thing, are you still sick?! I thought you had improved. Sending a big, fatty hug your way!
Oh my. I don't think I could buy anything from a guy wearing socks on his hands. It's just too weird. Carrie, I hope you're feeling better today!!!

wow white sweat socks on your hands, that is way weird
Ahh! I just posted mine! I hope you like it...I am no model so it was quite the challenge for me to pose lol
Am I blind, what happened to your tuesday post? I don't see it?! I was going to visit the white denim posts I missed yesterday?
HA! Would love to see that challenge! PS: Did you see Anna rock the white yesterday - so cute! It's been fun checking everyone...great idea Carrie!
Carrie, I love looking at these! So glad you posed this challenge, cause it's been fun looking at everyone's results. And I've found some great new blogs to read, too! Hope you're seeing the light at the end of the sickness tunnel . . . I'm sure you are seriously ready for the misery to end!
I hope you feel better soon! And LOL to the socks on hands, can't say I've ever seen that one before. When I was young, I was friends with a girl whose mother made us take off our shoes/socks and put on a pair of fresh white socks every time we visited her house - her mom had an entire closet filled with brand new white socks for guests. Idk why I just shared that, lol, but that's my random sock story for the day!

Socks on hands?! Hilarious! That would be classic. And holy jeez I would have busted up if that pistolis went off in the midst of all that. ha!
I'm laughing so hard about the sock guy! I hope you feel better soon!
I hope you feel better ... You are cracking me up with all these challenges that come to your brilliant mind.
So this is kind of a good news bad news situation. Which one do you want to hear first?
As if u have a choice! =)
Not until you get better!
Okay.. can't find my white pants in my closet no matter how deep I dig. But the good news is - my friend is driving downtown to drop me off hers tomorrow!
Now, that's friendship!
