That's right kids, it's time for another good idea, bad idea.
GOOD IDEA: going to the gym
BAD IDEA: going to paint dads house after getting ass kicked at the gym
...if you don't get the reference you didn't watch enough Animaniacs as a kid ;)
But aside from being achy and ravenously hungry all day I had a good time talking to my step sister and walking around the farm a bit. It was nice and cool... a little wet, but no matter. I have never had much time to hang out with her a lot, so today we got to talking and bonded over a similar traumatizing life experience that neither one of us knew the other had gone through. It's nice to have a family member that I really have a lot in common with... don't get me wrong... Farrah is a wild child but she has a wisdom hidden behind her party girl exterior with a certain degree of zen which fits into our Volkmer family mold of easygoing people. I've always liked her but now we have a deeper bond and understanding of each other :)
I love the farm. It's so peaceful out there... not a lot of cars... a nice breeze... there are chickens, chicks, bunnies and roosters everywhere (which by the way, listening to Regina Spektor with roosters crowing in the background is a rather interesting experience... who knew?)
I guess I am a country girl at heart... when I am there I feel peace. Yeah, it's cheesy I know but it's true. :)
Now I'm off to stare into space or whatever it is that can be done from a lounging position... my muscles need a serious break from all this ass kickin I've done today! Gonna cook Steve some chicken and call it a night... the house is clean, things are getting done... peace out!
