About

Name:
My name is Susanne, but almost every­one calls me Susie.

Age:
I’m 47 years old and proud of it. I never really under­stood why peo­ple are afraid of get­ting older. Life is so much eas­ier now than it was 20 years ago. I don’t mind the wrin­kles or the gray hair. I can eas­ily change the color of my hair and the wrin­kles show I’ve had a cou­ple of good laughs in my life.

Fam­ily:
I’m a sin­gle mother of 4 daugh­ters, 3 of them being adults already. I used to be mar­ried a long time ago, I used to be engaged to mar­ried quite a while ago too. My 3 older daugh­ters are from my mar­riage and the youngest one with my fiancé. I’m not mar­ried, nor engaged any­more, I’m sin­gle and free and even though my blog has a lot of writ­ings about love and rela­tion­ships, I’m not really look­ing right now. I guess one tend to talk about what one lacks.

Work:
I work as a teacher at a uni­ver­sity of applied sci­ences. I don’t have a col­lege degree myself, I’m a high school drop-out. I teach basic com­put­ing skills and image manip­u­la­tion. I’m lucky enough to live in a small town where every­one knows each other and I got my job because of what I know, not because of the schools I have attended. I am a full time stu­dent too, work­ing on finally get­ting a bachelor’s degree in Busi­ness Administration.

Hob­bies:
I paint in oil, I pho­to­graph and I cre­ate vec­tor art. I intend one day to make my hob­bies my main income. I sell my pho­tos and my vec­tor images at micro­s­tock sites and I had intended to use my blog to write about my pho­tog­ra­phy and my art. It have got­ten a lit­tle bit out of track, but I will get back to it and post about dif­fer­ent things.

About me:
I’m a geeky artist and well, you can’t win a debate with a geeky artist with kids. When you are using logic, I’m going to talk about what I feel. When you’re try­ing to rea­son with me, I’m going to tell you a story about the time when my kids were lit­tle. I’m using my life as an exam­ple to prove I’m right and you’re using the words by great men you read in books. Since I’m a sin­gle mother and used to doing all the chores in my home, I do under­stand how the dish­washer, com­puter and the vac­uum cleaner works, I also know how to use the ham­mer and a nail. So when you say I’m irra­tional and don’t know what I’m talk­ing about, I’m going to explain the float­ing point algo­rithm and install a hard drive. When you get frus­trated about not get­ting any­where with me, I’m say­ing: “What­ever, honey… who’s going to clean the table?” When you’ve had enough and decide to go home to your place, I’m say­ing: “If you love some­thing, set it free… If it comes back, it’s yours, if it doesn’t, it never was yours.…”
