Open! Sez Ahhh Me!



If you remember my photo of Roberto's Taco Shop that I had up here for Cinco De Mayo, this is a shot looking north from there (yes, I had carne asada tacos tonight.) The building under construction in the photo has been in progress for what will be 2 years this month. Ok, "in progress" might not be the best words since they just had a big sign there saying it was coming soon but they didn't break ground yet. The place? The Las Vegas Athletic Club. I've been a member of that gym since before I graduated high school. I haven't been back to the gym since I moved because it's a pain in the butt to drive to the nearest location. This one is maybe an 1/8 mile from home. Should open in October and am waiting for it to open as I'll be spending a lot of time there again. I know that I usually need to have motivation to go to the gym. I feel that I'm motivated not by a gym partner this time but a need to better myself. I actually miss going into the gym even though this time I won't have Dad, my friend Jim or anyone else there inspiring me to go. So, I'm watching and waiting. 2 years can be considered patience.Posted by Picasa

I'll bet the land has appreciated so much, they're just sitting on it to sell. My friend's house in Vegas has doubled in value in two years. It's crazy.

Hey Martin, Teri is looking for a workout partner also, although the gym is a little ways away from our house...

Moose - You don't want chicken legs, do you?

Vavoom - You may have to travel a little. B) And you shouldn't have to feel like that. Most of us abhor the quick judgements of others.

Lloyd - She'd be afraid to wear anything clingy, wouldn't she?

Fred - I bought my house just under 2 years ago for $133,000 and a near replica of it nearby just sold for $280,000. I stopped being able to afford my house after I closed escrow.

I wear clingy, I just have a big t-shirt over me to hide it all :)

Actually I really want to join a gym, but there isn't any near my house. This one will be about 20 minutes away and the closest one is Golds which is about 15 minutes away. I can't decide which gym I want to join.
