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.

Dinner Time

Not Such Horrible People
“I’m a horrible person. You’re probably a horrible person too. We’re just horrible, horrible people.” “What are you talking about?” I asked completely confused as to why I was such a horrible person. “I didn’t vote” my husband lamented. “We’ve … Continue reading

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
