Hello, I'm Cassie

Hi.  My name is Cassie.  I'm thirtysomething years old, I currently live and work in suburban Chicago.

I suppose I could stop there and you would figure out the rest over time, but maybe you're one of those people (like me) who likes a little more background.  So here's my background:

Born and raised in the Chicago area.  Was a swimmer and runner through high school.  Never one of the best, but I loved it.  Went to college in Colorado, law school in Massachusetts and then came back to Chicago.  My timing was not great (though better than others), so I've done a little bouncing between employment and unemployment.  Currently I am employed.

I live with my boyfriend (to be known as "boyfriend" until further notice).  We live 20 minutes away from my parents and my grandmother, which is nice.  I especially enjoy the free laundry.  Also the dogs.  My parents have two golden retrievers who I adore.  Sometimes when I go to my parents' house, I joke that I'm really there to visit the dogs.  Sometimes I'm not really joking.

I have some chronic health issues.  I'm sure I'll post about them at some point.  I'm trying to minimize their effect on my life, as I kind of feel like they've taken over my life for the past few years.  Really I just want my life back.

I'm not really sure who I am right now. But I know who I want to be.  I want to be a runner, a yogi, a friend.  I want to be happy.  I want to be healthy.  Thus, I begin my journey by trying to like grapefruit.
