Hi There. Nice to meet you. I am Allie, a thirty something year-old average woman working in corporate America. I am not a writer, never thought I would be one, but for some odd reason I have always wanted to try a blog. I also have issues sticking with something, and in fact, I haven't shared with anyone that I am starting this blog. I have started this blog to force myself to stick to my resolve to trying something new every week this year. Come along with me - some weeks will be exciting, some may be lame, but every week will have something new. Something that will make me expand my horizons and try something new. I am looking forward to this year and I am glad you are along for the ride!

So, several months ago, I did something to my back and I am not sure exactly what I did, but regardless of how much I slowed downed at the gym, my back stayed weak and irritated.  Finally, one day when I was reaching into the dryer and my back seized, I decided I had enough.  I had enough of not being able to sit without pain, enough of not being able to lift at the gym, enough of having to walk with very rigid posture.  I had enough.

For years I have heard a rumor that Louisville has a home-grown circus.  I can honestly say that I didn't really believe it was true.  And if it was true, what kind of caliber could it be?  So on a random Friday night, my friend Christina and I were trying to figure out what we wanted to do... I took to google to see what was going to be happening that weekend and came up Turner's circus.  I didn't actually know anyone who had been to Turner's Circus, the closest I came was a friend's ex-fiance's new wife was a performer of the circus.  Regardless of not knowing anyone who has ever attended Louisville's original circus, I figured it would be a fun adventure.

So, I am very much an omnivore.   I eat vegetarian several days a week, but I think I would really struggle to go full on vegetarian - I really like steak and cheese burgers.  Really like 'em.  But as you may have deduced, I am fairly food adventurous.  I love to cook and on many occasions I have gone vegan in my cooking endeavors.  My favorite vegan cook book is Thug Kitchen - if you are vegan, you've heard of them.  If you aren't, I highly recommend you give them a try.  You wont go wrong.
