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

When Parents Attack
It was one of those lazy, rainy weekend afternoons. You know the kind, where you sleep in as long as you possibly can, stay in your jammies all day and enjoy just being with each other. Well, Shaun and I … Continue reading

Uncalculated Chaos
When Mimi started classes last week, she told me that she was really going to need a new scientific calculator. Not only had she been using her sister’s aging hand-me-down one, her teachers were encouraging the students to get the … Continue reading

I’ve Been Living a Lie
