Kiss Off March 2013

Posted on April 4, 2013 by ktclick • 3 Comments

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I do feel a responsibility to those people who read (and write for) NNY Life to explain my recent lull in postings. To put it bluntly, NNY “spring” sucks. This time of year, I always struggle. I know I’m not alone. No matter how… Continue Reading

The Spring Tease…

Posted on March 14, 2013 by ktclick • 0 Comments

THIS is the time of year when our sanity is REALLY tested. I call it the Spring Tease. A few days of nice weather followed by a return to snow and bitter temps (it was 15 degrees this morning – that at least makes ME feel bitter). Fittingly, I am writing a column for NNY… Continue Reading

Effects of Lake Effect

Posted on February 3, 2013 by ktclick • 1 Comment

So, I did have to back out on plans to meet with friends at Goodfello’s in Sackets Harbor last night because of the lake effect snow, but today’s fresh snow + bright sun combo certainly made up for that disappointment. This morning, Diva, Hunk, my husband and I took a walk at “The Woods,” some… Continue Reading

Are you sad or are you SAD?

I really wish that someone had told me about Seasonal Affective Disorder when I first moved to northern New York. I migrated from sunny Oklahoma to Oswego, NY in 1999 to attend school at SUNY Oswego, and within a few months, homesickness (I was only 20 years old) combined with day after day of pale… Continue Reading

Book Club: January 2013

Posted on November 27, 2012 by ktclick • 0 Comments

I’ve written before about how much I adore book club. I’ve been a member of one book club or another since Diva was a baby, and I think I’d be a member of book club all by myself if I didn’t have a group of fantastic, smart women to meet up with every six weeks…. Continue Reading

Books. With Pages.

Today I made my usual trip to the library – returned a couple of books, then picked up a couple that I’d requested through Interlibrary Loan. I was turning to make my way back outside when I glanced behind the circulation desk and noticed the tell-tale signs of the annual Flower Memorial Library Book Sale… Continue Reading

Heated Debate

Despite the fact that I just did a little jig in my backyard over the fact that our blackberries are almost ready and I went swimming in a great lake not once, but twice last week, there are more than a couple of things I miss about Oklahoma summers. Yes, you read that right. I… Continue Reading

Weekend Reading List

Posted on February 10, 2012 by ktclick • 0 Comments

I might have gone overboard with the whole magazine subscription bonanza I went on around Christmas. There were SO many of my favorite magazines for pennies – PENNIES, I say! – per issue. So I got… well, rather than list them all, I’d probably be better off showing you: Not pictured: Glamour and Details Don’t… Continue Reading
