This comment really made me smile 
I really like blogging, but sometimes I feel like I just don’t fit in. I don’t have any cool recipes, nor do I have a new workout to post every day. To make matters worse, I’ve never been to crossfit and I wouldn’t last one meal on the Paleo diet. Joking. Sort of…
You know what? I’m totally OK with that.
I’ve come to the realization that I just don’t follow the blog trends. If you want to read about an ordinary person, you’ve come to the right place!
Moving on….
Yesterday was quite the adventure.
I know I just bought a new car earlier this year, but I fell in love with the 2013 model when I had one as a loaner while mine was at the dealer to have a few things fixed. I test drove it again a few days later because I like it that much. I kept researching the car and finally decided to just go for it.
I was on the fence about it for a few weeks, but everyone kept tell me “do what makes you happy.”
So I did.
I also found out that I have a 781 credit score. Holla.
It was a 4 hour process and my companion started to get hungry. Trust me, she can get a little testy when she goes too long without food.
I made the salesman buy her peanuts to tide her over until lunch.
He said that he keeps dollar bills in his wallet just for this situation, which I think is pretty smart. If someone leaves to go and get food, they might not come back.
Life tip: Don’t let your girlfriend get too hungry.
The bad news is that I don’t actually have the car yet. It’s currently on a truck en route to the dealer and should be here tomorrow or Tuesday!
It’s was basically impossible to find the model/color that I wanted. I had to go talk to about five or six different dealers! Most of them told me that people were buying the cars before they were even on the lot.
It will look like this:
Woo hoo! I’m excited!
I’ll post pictures when it comes it
So who’s doing anything fun for Thanksgiving?
I’ll be Florida bound in a few days. Mom and dad have a beach house there and we decided to have Thanksgiving there. It will be a short trip (Thursday-Sunday), but it should be fun!

I wouldn’t last long on a paleo diet either – I need my oatmeal. And cheese. And yogurt. And peanut butter. Apparently, I wouldn’t last longer than 10 minutes.
I love how the salesman bought her peanuts…I never would have thought about that (people getting hungry in the middle of a sale and needing to leave) but that’s a clever little trick!

Sometimes I feel like I don’t fit in with the blog world either – I don’t drink protein shakes, I think “healthy” baked goods with stevia and fake ingredients are gross, and I haven’t tried CrossFit.
Nice new wheels!

I for one love reading about “ordinary” people. So blog on
I love your blog! It’s one of my favs because you’re a “real” person! I much rather read someone’s blog who is geniune that someone who is trying to hard to fit in.
Congrats on your new car!!

LOL I’m an enjoyable person to be around when I’m well-fed… it was for his own good
Congrats on the new car and happy I could be there to see you buy it! And I definitely have dibs on the first ride. That signing on the bottom line photo needs to be framed haha.

I love that you are real on your blog. That is why I read it. You are different. If we were all alike, that would be BORING!
Congrats on your new car!! It is awesome!!!

I’m glad I don’t have to roll my eyes about another paleo blog! U have good stuff to say, and I miss hearing about what’s going on when you don’t post
I know how blogging is tough to do when it’s not ur full or part time job. So keep up on the good work! And congrats!!
Just gotta say Heather looks so adorable in those photos! Congrats on the car Matt!
I blog your blog, mostly because of your humor!!! A little sarcastic and I totally like it that way:-).
Love the new car and MAYBE this will mean less tickets since it won’t be “pull me over” red!!!

I don’t really feel like I fit in when it comes to the blogging world either, but I consider that a good thing… some of the things I come across really just weird me out. Congrats on your new car. It looks great!

Looks fancy, I like it! Don’t feel bad, I don’t feel like I could survive on the paleo diet either

I usually feel like I don’t fit into the blog world either. Since I already lost my weight I’m not a “weight loss” blog, since I don’t really run much due to injury I’m not a “running” blog anymore…And cycling is so seasonal that it’s not a cycling blog! So what is it…. ??? Whatever we make it.

Honestly I love reading about peoples day to day lives (as ordinary as they might be) so much more than seeing a new workout or recipe everyday. And I wouldn’t last a second on the paleo diet, I’ll keep my grains and dairy thank you very much.
And congrats on the new car! It looks awesome!
