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

Mashed Potatoes and Chilaquiles
Nearly a year ago I received a message on Facebook from someone I had known in junior high school. It was amazing how easily the fifty-thousand or so years it had been since we had last seen each other fell … Continue reading

Dinner Time
Shaun came bounding up the stairs as he always does, drawn by the smell of dinner nearly ready to be put on the table. “It smells good,” he said, peering over my shoulder and into the pan I was rapidly … Continue reading

Take Yer Daughter to Work Day—Kinda

At Least I Can Make A Pie
If you are reading this from my actual blog (as opposed to a reader) you may have noticed that I haven’t made much progress with my new design. The colors aren’t quite so garish, but it’s not a very finished … Continue reading
