Hey guys and welcome to the Moms a Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa.

Hi, Melissa.

Hey, Mandy, how are you?

I'm doing okay, except I feel a little bit like I'm in the twilight zone because I am still on Halloween.

And meanwhile, it's basically Thanksgiving already.

Girl, we have to move beyond that.

I just feel like I blinked.

And I really, like, truly am flabbergasted with, like, how fast this month is gone. I don't know if anyone else feels that way. I feel like I just have no idea how we got how we got here. How did we get here? Last year I got a word of a day calendar and this year I might get you just a calendar. Just a calendar. Yeah. I don't watch the days go by. Yeah. I don't even know if that would help me, though.

That's the thing.

I feel like I look at the calendar pretty often, but I guess it just registered that we are really truly almost at Thanksgiving.

And I'm super excited about that because I love spending time with my family and eating a lot of good food.

So definitely one of my favorite

holidays. Melissa, are you looking forward to the holiday? I am so much. I love the food.

Love any chance I get to pop out a can of cranberry sauce and no one can say anything to me

about it when I pull it out. I feel like you've earned it. You just can have that now.

No one fights you on that anymore. That's your thing. They don't. It is part of my personality

and people that love me, accept me for my can of cranberry sauce. But if you go somewhere,

I bring my own because you just never want to show up somewhere not empty-handed, but like if I show

up somewhere and they don't have it, it's like Thanksgiving's ruined. Yeah. Well, okay, but if your

version of showing up not empty-handed is bringing canned cranberry sauce for yourself, is that?

Well, I mean, I'm saying in addition. If I was like, I'm bringing this, this and this,

like I will be bringing a can of cranberry sauce that's not on my list.
