Because I have barely had time for blog-reading this week (again!) I don’t have a proper Week-End Review for you…but I’ll be around this weekend anyway, since I’m participating in the 24-Hour Readathon starting Saturday at 5 AM PDT! I am also taking today off from work to get ready to spend tomorrow reading and blogging about reading – it’s Catch Up and Clear the Decks Day! Friday Fill-Ins 1. In the near darkness I […]
I’ve been taking part in the Music Diary Project this week, posting daily updates to it on Tumblr. At some point – once it’s over, probably, and in the mythical time when I have “more time” – I plan to go back through the entries and see what sort of thoughts they provoke. Most of the posts are just straightforward lists of whatever music I was listening to over a period of time, but a couple […]
I know, I celebrated a blogiversary and a birthday last month…and then I disappeared! It wasn’t intentional – in fact, it was a surprise to me too. I had plans to work on some post drafts and spend a good amount of time reading during my extended Birthday Weekend, but…well, you know how it goes with plans sometimes. I wound up using that time for some housecleaning and shopping instead, and once I returned to […]
My Twitter/Facebook update last Thursday morning, March 24: My birthday is STILL 3/29, even if my office thinks it’s 3/24 and my insurance company thinks it’s 3/17. It’s been 3/29 all my life. Seriously. One of my co-workers wished me “Happy Birthday” on Thursday, and I told her she was a little early, since it wasn’t till Tuesday. The birthday list posted in the copy room had it wrong. Just days before my shoulder surgery […]

Yes, I know it’s Friday Fill-INS, but I haven’t had much writing or blog-reading time this week and wouldn’t be posting at all today if it weren’t for this – let’s be honest, it’s filler. But it does mention some of the things that have been going on to keep me from blog-reading and writing… 1. Why does it take so much longer to get something done when you didn’t want to do it in the […]
In my Blogiversary post last week, I asked you had any questions you wanted to ask me – and some of you did! Thanks for playing along, and please read on for the Q&A. BUT FIRST…For my Blogiversary Giveaway, I committed to donate $1 for each comment on my Blogiversary posts, plus an extra $1 per question asked in comments, and $1 for each sign-up to one of my two Read-Alongs, to Writers for the […]
The current Weekly Geeks theme revisits one of Dewey’s original topics for the meme: Ten Things About Books and YOU. Here are mine: The current population of TBR Purgatory is 326. I give up book-buying for Lent every year, and this year it’s been surprisingly easy to stick to it. For one thing, I’m getting better about wish-listing books so I won’t forget I’m interested in them, but I think the bigger factor is that I’m […]
Have you had Words with your Friends yet? A few weeks ago, my son told me he’d downloaded the Words With Friends game for his iPhone, but since I didn’t have a smartphone of my own at the time, I was unable to do anything with that bit of information. That changed last Friday. Words With Friends was one of the first apps I got for my brand-new iPhone (free with ads, but there’s an […]
You only have one fourth birthday, but I’m taking two days to celebrate the 4th Blogiversary of The 3 R’s Blog: Reading, ‘Riting, and Randomness! The festivities began yesterday, and here’s a quick recap of what’s going on. I opened sign-ups for two read-alongs. Well, I hope they’ll be read-alongs – I’m planning to re-read both of these books this year, and I’d love to have company to discuss them with! Fellow re-readers and first-timers […]
Tomorrow, March 16, will be the fourth birthday of The 3 R’s Blog! Whether you’ve been reading here for a good chunk of that time – I’m not saying “from the beginning” because NO ONE was reading it then – or you’re relatively new to these parts, I’m glad you’re here and I hope you find it a welcoming and interesting place. As my fifth year of blogging begins, I’d like to enlist y’all in […]
I almost didn’t post on Friday, and I missed the Sunday Salon yesterday. Being back at the office every day (at the busiest time of year) and starting physical therapy last week (which means I leave the office an hour early three days a week) have really cut into the time I have for blog business. Preparing posts for my Blogiversary this week and getting caught up on review writing are my current priorities, so […]
