In a nutshell
A Slice of my Life is my take on two teenagers, one husband and a whole slew of critters. Life around here is never boring!
Shaun (also referred to as my Beloved): Computer Nerd, WoW Geek and all around Nice Guy. (although sometimes I have to wonder if he's really just a 12 year old boy trapped in a 40 something year old man's body)
Kt-The Teenager: Our oldest daughter, college student, vegan, volunteer, high achiever with a goofy side.
Mimi-The Feisty Redhead: Still our baby girl, high school junior, Drama Queen, artistic and culinary inclined.
And then there’s me, Susan The one who adores them all! I hope you enjoy all the antics that go on in our little slice of the web.

Reasons to Give Yourself Flowers
“Who brought you those flowers?” my daughter asked as she walked into the kitchen and saw me trying to artfully arrange a bouquet of daffodils in a vase. “Yeah,” questioned my husband. “Where did they come from? I didn’t bring … Continue reading
The Tale of the Magical Leprechaun
It was several years ago today that I first met him. Although he would argue that the correct word would be “rescue” instead of “met”. You see, I was just walking along, minding my own business when I heard what … Continue reading

Table For Two
The other night while the girls went to the opera (‘Cause we’re cultured like that) Shaun and I decided to meet for an early dinner at a wonderful little Italian cafe that we enjoy. I arrived first and put our … Continue reading
