After wayyyyyyy too much time over the last few years spent living with roommates and bouncing from "place to place", I finally signed a 12 month lease on a new apartment!!!Don't get me wrong, I appreciate those that have helped me out when I was a little down on my luck. Sometimes things get rough and one has to make certain sacrifices while they regain their footing. That being said, I hope I never have to subject myself to the trials & tribulations of roommates again.
So, the new place... It's a small little one bedroom / one bath, but it's all mine! No immature & disrespectful roommates and no smelly animals. It's quiet, cozy and comfortable... and it's just what I've been looking for!The location is great... Situated in North Austin just south of La Frontera, I've got super fast access to I-35, Mopac and Toll Road 45. Even better, I'm less than 5 minutes to work. And with gas about to top $3.00 a gallon, that is definitely a "plus".
While I used to work out all the time, the last few years have not been my most productive when it comes to fitness. Not even a little bit. So I'm extremely excited about my new complex having a 24 hour fitness center. Nothing like a good workout after a long day in the DJ Booth to set myself up for a good night's rest.The complex has two pool, one of which is literally right outside my patio. It's got a water volleyball court, a lap pool, jacuzzi and a couple of pretty sweet charcoal grills. From my patio, late at night, it's an almost serene setting of peace and tranquility.
So far I really like this new place... I'll probably put together a little "House Warming Party" sometime in the next few weeks. The sun is shining and it's perfect weather for ribs on the frill and a few beers by the pool!!!
