Um, yeah. So Thanksgiving is basically in two weeks. Just letting you know in case you COMPLETELY lost track of time like I did. Can we just discuss for a minute the impossibility that Thanksgiving is already in two weeks? Anybody? Anybody?!?! Maybe it's just me who is shocked by this sudden realization.
