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.
That’s So Yesterday

Of Worms and Dads
Every time I look at the home screen on my phone, I have to smile. The photo is of a chubby two- year-old hand proudly holding up a wriggling worm. This, of course, makes me think of my dad. Now … Continue reading

The T-shirt to Prove It
You can generally pick out the runners in a crowd. They are usually the lean, muscular, athletic looking ones. If the looks alone didn’t tip you off, you can usually spot them by the T-shirts they love to wear. You … Continue reading

Not So Foolish April
This morning the dogs woke me up. They were whining to go outside much earlier than I wanted to get up. (Granted, one could hardly fault the dogs, as it was a few hours later than I usually am up, … Continue reading

The Big Five-Oh

Blame It On Facebook
Last week, Carol of Northwest Ladybug made a post that’s been clanging around in my mind for that last few days. (I hope you are happy Carol!) Basically, she wrote about how she had started to second guess herself about … Continue reading
