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.

Hey! Is that who I think it is?
Shaun took me to lunch at our favorite Szechuan restaurant this weekend. As we chatted and enjoyed our meal I watched as a little boy wandered near our table. He walked back and forth a couple times and eventually stopped … Continue reading

For the Love of Coffee and a Good Man
Last night I was browsing through Pintrest before bed. I stumbled across a board about coffee and just had to laugh at some of the silliness posted. (Just in case you are unaware, it’s pretty much a State Law that … Continue reading

The T-shirt to Prove It
