Dressing, Dresses, & Duck Gumbo

Off to Memphis today for Thanksgiving with the fam! Mostly looking forward to garlic mashed potatoes and my grandmother's dressing. I can take or leave turkey. Excuse me. Tur-duc-hen.

That crazy-looking thing is a turkey-stuffed with a chicken-stuffed with a duck-stuffed with dressing. Tell me that you've had it. It looks disgusting, but it actually better than your run-of-the-mill turkey.

Friday's agenda begins with the 1-hour trip to Brinkley, AR (middle of nowhere) to Low's, this store that supposedly has 3,000 dresses or something insane like that. Mom and Blakely are coming with me to advise. Hopefully I'll find something amazing. Like this.

Maybe they'll also have a great selection of eating disorders, because that's the only thing that would make me as thin as this girl.  Then it's off to White Hall to stay with Ryan and his parents Friday night. Then off to Stuttgart, AR (Duck Hunting capital of the world, don'tchaknow) for Duck Gumbo. It's this big redneck-y festival where people compete for the best duck call and best gumbo. Should be fantastic. Will post pics.

Sunday is Ryan's birthday, which will mostly be spent driving back to Fayetteville. Still haven't decided what to get him. He never asks for anything! Maybe my gift will be the offer to drive the whole way back. Don't judge. I just recently became employed. Funds are low.

So, have a Happy Turkey Day Y'all!

How was the dress hunting - sometimes that can more vicious than any duck hunting extravaganza! =)
