Random updates I was surprised by how many comments were generated by my refrigerator-magnet collection when my blogging space was featured on Kittling: Books earlier this week. It seems like there are quite a few folks who also have magnets decorating their kitchens, so I think they deserve a showcase. On Monday, I will be giving my magnets their own feature post here on the The 3 R’s, and I want to see yours too […]

Where it all happens: SCENE OF THE BLOG!
I was very excited when Cathy invited me to be part of her popular “Scene of the Blog” feature at Kittling: Books. Cathy does a lot of fun things on her blog; in addition to book reviews, she runs reader polls and the Friday Feud, and showcases artwork featuring books and reading. Anyway, today’s the big day for The 3 R’s. I hope you’ll stop by Kittling: Books and see where the magic happens – […]
BlogHer’09: The hangover
OK, so I fibbed a little. I wasn’t quite done talking about my experience at BlogHer in Chicago after all, but this piece was originally published elsewhere, so I didn’t really count it in with all of the other BlogHer’09 posts last week. Like a substantial number of women bloggers – including some that I actually have met, and many others that I’ve gotten to know online – I recently attended the BlogHer conference in […]
Weekend Review, 7/18/09
Random updates This blog was recently honored with an award by the awesome Sheri (I’ve met her, and it’s true!) of A Novel Menagerie: “The Humane Award is to honor certain bloggers that are kindhearted individuals. They regularly take part in my blog and always leave the sweetest comments. If it wasn’t for them, my site would just be an ordinary book review blog. Their blogs are also amazing and are tastefully done on a […]
Weekend Review 7-11-09
Random updates ***This is not exactly blog-related, but I did mention and receive comments about it here: thanks to everyone who expressed concern and good wishes for my mother-in-law. She has been home from the hospital since Tuesday, and is still experiencing occasional, but less severe, dizzy spells. She has some help around the house, and my husband is keeping daily tabs on her by phone. She will be seeing a specialist soon, and hopefully […]
Weekend Review, 6-27-09: This week across the blogiverse
Random updates So, are you surprised to see this post today instead of yesterday? Me too! My internet at home went out on Friday evening and didn’t come back till Saturday morning – we’d been having some issues with our connection signal, but we think (hope!) they’re all fixed now. Following up on one of the Bloggiesta mini-challenges: My blog grade per Website Grader is up above 90% this week (average 92%), from 87% last […]

It’s just not a good time, baby
Do you ever get the feeling you’ve walked right into the middle of something? It was one of those dreams that was so vivid it was hard to shake off, and I’m still thinking about it. I realize that for some people it would be a wonderful dream, and one they really hope will be fulfilled. For me, it was definitely one that I’m glad was just a dream, and one I have no desire […]

Saturday Review: Thursday Preview/Bookmarks
Since I didn’t post a “Saturday Review” last weekend, I’ve got a lot of links stored up, so I thought I’d get a headstart and share some of reading-related ones today – that will give you less to get through this weekend :-). My real reason for this decision isn’t that selfless, however: I just haven’t had time to get ahead on my writing, so if I didn’t do this, I’d have no post for […]
