Guess what?

We bought a new car. That’s right. No more two door manual girly car for this hip happening couple. We’ve entered the big league and have ourselves a 4 door sports automatic Subaru Liberty sedan.

We picked it up on Friday night. Just in time to take it up the coast for the weekend to celebrate my little nephew’s 3rd birthday on Valentines day.

Michelle and I booked a room up at Surf Air at Marcoola for the two nights and had a wonderful time relaxing, lunching with the family for Jetty’s bday and celebrating Valentines day.

Michelle and I are both hopeless romantics but when I say hopeless I mean it in the literal sense. We don’t bother with V.Day usually and so had not anticipated the possibility of not finding somewhere to eat on Saturday night. Absolutely everywhere was booked out. We drove around for ages. I’d stop outside a restaurant, Michelle would go in and ask if there was any chance and she’d walk away from them while they laughed at us.

Eventually we tired of all the driving, stopping and asking and settled on a stop in at an old favourite that didn’t take reservations – Sizzler.

OMG!

It was like a re-union of last years Biggest Loser contestants. Too many people out of control – me included.

I can never, ever go there again.

After such a lazy, decadent weekend I was straight back at the gym this morning pumping iron. Now to get ready to ride to work on the peddly.
