Things are starting to come together around here. We’ve had an exciting week of furniture delivery – since I took that “part-time job” as Craigslist poster back in September – and after one particularly amusing scene where Mama Bender and I somehow managed to hoist a mattress up the stairs (those things are heavier than […]

Indulge Me
As is usual when I go home to Arizona, both Papa and Mama Bender pulled out all the stops for some delicious homemade meals. I like to think that my being there has some influence on their menu selections, but in reality they are just great chefs. First up, Mama Bender made homemade French onion […]
A Quarter Century
Yesterday was an excellent day. I turned 25 and my phone turned back time. That, my friends, is a POP phone – very business appropriate. I first came across it in a SELF Magazine fashion spread with Emmy Rossum. Basically, you attach it to your cell phone or anything with a headset plug in and […]

{Not In My Back} Yard House
Hi Friends!! Is it Thursday already? What a week. I’m actually very excited for tonight because I am taking Bobby out on a date. 🙂 I gave him tickets to see Dralion by Cirque du Soleil for Christmas and we are off to the the-a-ter (do I sound cultured?) tonight. Yes, it sounds like a […]
