A quick announcement before today’s main event: I didn’t know until I read it here, here, here, and here that yesterday was “De-lurking Day” in Blogland, and my day was far too crazy to get around to leaving many comments for anyone. But since I don’t think it’s a day that’s officially marked on any calendar, I’m extending it to today here at The 3 R’s, just because I can. It’s not too late to […]

50/50 odds – just pick one already!
I picked this up from MegFowler.com, a new discovery that I can’t quite recall how I discovered. She calls this little exercise “Choose Ye,” and you have to pick one of the two alternatives given for each question. No ifs, ands, buts, or maybes. It seemed like fun, so I thought I’d give it a whirl..My selection is the option in bold type. I do have to say that most of the forced alternatives here […]

Not-quite Ten on Tuesday – Five Favorite Photos of 2007
I really hadn’t planned on participating in this week’s Ten on Tuesday, since the prompt is “10 Best Moments of Last Year” and I had enough of a challenge coming up with three memorable moments, so never mind ten of them! But I thought I might give the optional topic, “Photo 10 on Tuesday – 10 Best Pictures of Last Year,” a go. Tall Paul is the family photographer, and I mostly play around with […]
Weekend assignment #197: “Missing Words”
This is assignment #1 for me – the original post, with instructions, is at Outpost Mavarin (via Whatever, which I found via Pamie.com, which I knew of from my days hanging out over at TWoP…the internets are just a big ol’ chain). It won’t be wrapped up until Thursday 1/10, so you can still join in even if the weekend is winding down. Weekend Assignment #197: Now that the WGA strike has had lots of […]
Soundtrack
This is a variation on the iPod Random Ten that gives the results a little bit of structure, and I thought I’d try it this way for a change. As happens so often around here, it comes via Literary Feline. If your life were a soundtrack, what would the music be? Here’s how it works:1. open your library (iTunes, winamp, media player, iPod)2. put it on shuffle3. press play4. for every section, type the song […]

Ten on Tuesday 1-1: Ten Predictions for the New Year
I’ve mentioned previously that I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions, and I’m even less inclined to make predictions for the year to come, so I’ve been mulling over how to respond to this week’s Ten On Tuesday prompt. Predictions for the world at large? Predictions about politics, or about celebrity scandals? Predictions about trends for 2008? Or should I go the wimpy, cautious route and keep my predictions much closer to home? Predictions about […]
The year in posts – beginning and end
While we’re reviewing…I came across this meme via Average Jane, and adapted it.Rules: Paste the first line of your first post AND the last line of your last post for each month, starting with January 2007. Links are optional. Well, my blog did not exist until March 2007, but I’m playing anyway. March start – I’m not sure how much I remember about some of these now, so the notes may not be too long.March […]
Still the same year, still reviewing it
Via Laurie at Team Building is for Suckers: What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?I went to Catalina Island, where we celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?I didn’t make them this year – I usually don’t. I don’t think that January 1 has any magical power to change people. But I did make a list of ten […]
