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

The Quiet Time
I’ve been sitting in my living room listening to the quiet. These quiet times are are rare and are something I truly treasure. They are a balm to my soul. I live in a noisy home. It seems as though … Continue reading
Happy Spring!
Don’t worry, it’s a new look, but it’s still me. My pal Bob The Rooster, let me know that he had to make a quick trip to Minnesota to visit his ailing Aunt Eunice. (Personally, I think it has more … Continue reading

And They Called It Pumpkin Love…
Title apologies to Donny Osmond…I just couldn’t help it! (Did anyone else hope he’s showcase purple socks on dwts?) It all started back in October…no, I take that back…I think it really started way back in June or July. That’s … Continue reading

Sometimes I forget things…
Like the pumpkin seeds from our Jack-O-Lantern. I washed them and put them in the oven so that I could have them ready to roast the next day. Then promptly forgot all about them. I never grew a pumpkin before…

For The Love of Worms
This post is dedicated to my dad on Father’s Day because he once forced me to hold (in my hand!) a worm. He had hoped to cure me of my acute Verminophobia, but merely succeeded in making it worse. It’s … Continue reading
