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

Talkin’ About the Weather
There’s a reason you are supposed to jot ideas down in a notebook. Especially if you are past the age of oh…say…27 or thereabout…and have a brain like a sieve. There’s so much I wanted to tell you but haven’t … Continue reading

Keeping It In Perspective
Yesterday I stopped to get gas and was shivering beside my car (with Mimi’s words echoing in my head about why on earth we don’t just move to Oregon where the common folk aren’t allowed to pump their own gas) … Continue reading

Rain Boots
Here in the Pacific Northwest, the weather has been a little…well…nasty. My inbox keeps filling up with high wind advisories, winter storm, thunderstorm and flood warnings. It’s been interesting. But we are tough (well, most of us…the ones that aren’t … Continue reading

Never Doubt The Groundhog
Exactly a week ago, Punxsutawney Phil poked his head out of his burrow and was frightened by his own shadow, thus predicting six more weeks of winter. We smiled at the news, wished everyone a “Happy Groundhog Day” and went … Continue reading
