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

Just Like Edison

Lofty Goals
Last weekend, Shaun and I went on a little adventure. (More about that later!) We had looked online and found a quirky little café in the middle of a boatyard. I had a feeling I was really going to like … Continue reading

Cherished
I was wandering around in the grocery store the other night, having a conversation with myself about what I still needed to get. I glanced over and spotted an older gentleman looking at me oddly. Assuming that my conversation was … Continue reading

With A Cherry On Top
One of my bloggy friends has been participating in a meme called Friday Fragments hosted by the Unknown Mami. I thought I would invite myself to play along because I’m a joiner like that. Basically it’s a bunch of random … 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 Photo Thief
The other day, Shaun posted a photo of our sweet puppies up on Facebook. I looked at the photo, and looked at it, then looked at it once more before finally realizing how come it looked so familiar. I had … Continue reading

The Land of The Free
If you live in Seattle and happen to drive a Jeep, one of the first things you do when the weather finally acts like it might be summer, is take your top down. (And, if you are my husband, take … Continue reading

The Wonderful Lily
Shaun and I were in the hardware store On A Mission for a very important doohickey that he needed desperately. I happily followed along admiring all the fun eye candy. (Seriously, I like hardware stores!) When we came to a … Continue reading
