Quick update

I'm in KC, staying with my grandmother. Love her to death. Love visiting with her and my great grandmother too. I'll try to visit other family while I'm here as well. But my time here is not being rushed. I feel like I'm on vacation or something...weird.

I had one request before leaving home, and that was to bring with me "real" cashew chicken. Also known as Springfield cashew chicken. I still laugh about that. Grandma loved it though, so that made me happy.

We didn't set an alarm this morning, we just woke up when we wanted to. I love, love, love this! We stayed up talking late last night and it was so nice to sleep in. With no time schedule to follow we've just spent our day talking and relaxing. I know the rest of the trip might not be so peaceful and relaxing, so I'm taking it all in while I still can.

I forgot quite a few things at home, which I realized within an hour of arriving in KC. I forgot my furry boots, my season 3 Grey's Anatomy DVDs and a few other things. I'm shopping today for some shampoo, body wash and shaving cream. But I don't know how those will fit into my already stuffed bag of hygiene products.

Since I was unable to find a large package of tic-tacs before leaving, I arrived with only 2 individual packs. However, I got to talking to my grandmother about them and she just so happens to get them from Sams. She just handed me a brand new 24-pack of tic-tacs. I have a feeling that I won't run out of them anytime soon.

This is home away from home. And I'm so happy that this was my first stop.
