I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy.

I “attended” a virtual online brand storytelling conference today. My boss signed me up under her email and username. When I logged in and realized I was her—and that none of the participants were on camera—I could not let the opportunity to have a little fun pass. It all started when introductions were made. People … Continue reading I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy.

Snow is My Pizza

If anybody is looking for an idea for a Christmas gift for me, I'm a size large snowblower. The National Weather Service was predicting 8-12" of snow for Rapid City on Saturday. There's no way we're going to get that much, I thought. Well, I was right. We ended up with 17" of snow. And … Continue reading Snow is My Pizza

White Knuckles

I was bitching this morning about having to go to work on Black Friday, but alas, I have ended up working from home. Which still isn’t not working, but at least it’s working in the comfort of sweats. One of those split-the-difference scenarios, I guess. For the record, I tried to go to work, but we have had freezing … Continue reading White Knuckles

Eyes on the Prize

Exciting times ahead for Team MarTar. Tara and I now have a realtor and have officially been approved for a mortgage loan. That dream of a white picket fence is actually going to come true! (Only, I'd take a groovy wood-paneled basement over the fence any day.) We haven’t seen our credit scores yet, but … Continue reading Eyes on the Prize

Sunshine & Blizzards

It sounds like there's a serious movement afoot to end Daylight Saving Time once and for all. Actually, the proposed legislation - known as the Sunshine Protection Act - would keep DST and do away with Standard time. Which makes sense, because our clocks are set to daylight time almost eight months out of the … Continue reading Sunshine & Blizzards

Adios, 2018

The year is ending with a little excitement here in Rapid City. If you consider a blizzard exciting. Never a dull moment around here, folks. Tara has to work today, but the bank is opening two hours late due to the weather. I don't have to be anywhere (my first day on the new job … Continue reading Adios, 2018

Lava Junkie

How 'bout that Hawaiian volcano?! I think it's safe to say I'm obsessed with the Kilauea eruption. I have spent more time than I care to admit devouring news stories and scrolling through Instagram photos and video of the lava. Hashtag Leilani Estates is an easy way to kill an hour. Anybody who knows me … Continue reading Lava Junkie

Lipstick on a Pig

As far as Friday the 13ths go, this one is anything but unlucky. The Moondoggies' new album, "A Love Sleeps Deep," came out today. It's been five years since their last record; that's basically an eternity in the rock 'n roll biz. If you are unfamiliar with our history with the band, let's just say … Continue reading Lipstick on a Pig
