![Reading? ‘Riting? Not Really! [Show and Tell Sunday]](https://i0.wp.com/3rsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/202/2016/02/show-and-tell-sunday-Feb2016-e1454826200543.png?fit=700%2C350&ssl=1&resize=520%2C400)
Since not much has been going on with either of The 3 R’s Blog‘s first two R’s lately, this will be brief. In fact, it has come to this: Yes, work breaks are a to-do list item right now I’ve deliberately been holding back from reading books for the last week or so. I haven’t wanted to finish anything because I knew I would not have time to write about it, and I still haven’t […]
Look! It’s a Blog Post! The irony of a semi-hiatus from blogging just weeks before I go to a major conference as a blogger is definitely not lost on me, but my workload has me operating in “something’s got to give” mode these days, and blogging is one of the things that can give. That said, I’m glad I have a little time to give it this weekend! I really don’t like missing a Sunday post–even […]
After more than ten years of faithful service, my Capresso CoffeeTeam coffeemaker gave up the ghost last Monday. Because freshly-ground beans made into custom-brewed coffee is one of my favorite things from the kitchen, I’ve ordered a new one. Because I really don’t want to make daily Starbucks runs in the meantime (no, seriously, I don’t), I’ve borrowed my dad’s Keurig till it arrives. . Duly caffeinated, I put together my “to do” list for […]
My only Bloggiesta accomplishments were connecting with my Bookish Masterminds group and participating in last Monday’s Twitter chat, which was scheduled during my lunch hour–I did not get to anything else on my Bloggiesta to-do list. But I’m not actually all that surprised by the #fail, to be honest–I knew the event coincided with a busy week of work and non-blog life. I also knew I’d have a couple of days off right after to […]
The second annual “A Day in the Life” Blogger Event is hosted by Trish at Love, Laughter, and a Touch of Insanity. I wrote about a workday for last year’s Day in the Life. This year, I’m looking back at a midweek day off from work. This photo collage is from the night before this year’s Day in the Life, at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara where Paul and I saw Loreena McKennitt on her Trio Tour. Because […]
Happy First Day of Spring, Northern Hemisphere! The last sunset of winter, through a car window I had mistakenly thought today was also the first day of Spring Bloggiesta and had planned my starting-line post as this week’s Sunday programming. Then I actually read the calendar and realized that one’s for tomorrow, so this Show-and-Tell Sunday is spur-of-the-moment and short. My husband Paul has been a fan of musician Loreena McKennitt for two decades, […]
I learned about Infomagical from Bryan, and decided to try this challenge for myself last week. Since I knew I had a packed week of work ahead of me, it seemed like as good a time as any to tackle a project designed to help manage information overload and improve focus and creativity: “Infomagical (is) a collective FOMO course correction. (I)t’s not about your gadgets per se, it’s about all the stuff on them, and all the stuff coming […]
I suppose I should have anticipated it–when you start your week at The Happiest Place on Earth, it’s probably going to be all downhill from there. It’s not that there’s anything big going wrong, but I’ve spent the last few days on the dark side of Funky Town. Our long-anticipated departmental team-building/retreat day at the top-secret location pictured above–postponed several times over the past year–was fun and fruitful, but also indeed long. Frankly, I […]

The momentum of Book Blogger Appreciation Week wasn’t sustained in my blogging last week, sadly–I only got one post up and am officially behind on review-writing. I fell off the comment wagon (although I have saved some posts with the intent to comment, and may yet get to them this weekend!) I have been doing some online reading outside some of my usual haunts, though, and wanted to share a few links with y’all […]
I’m winding down now after joining in the celebration of Book Blogger Appreciation Week. The timing was less than ideal for my participation–I tend to be especially busy at work mid-month, and that’s even more true during the winter and spring months when I’m doing audit prep–but I’m really glad I didn’t decide to opt out! In case you missed it, here’s what I posted: An Introduction to Me as a Reader An Interview with […]
Book Blogger Appreciation Week 2016 is hosted by Ana, Andi, Heather, and Jenny at The Estella Society. It’s a week dedicated to celebrating the hard work, dedication, and love we put into book blogging, and to nurturing the connections and sense of community we’ve been so lucky to find through it.
