Admiring amalah for her cool idea to do this and Lauren for her ability to create one herself the same day. Its taken me over a WEEK. Damn letter “G”

Blaming my mood on the fuckin’ weather. I need the sun. Please?

Crying over Joan of Arcadia. Every. Single. Friday.

Daydreaming about having a baby.

Erasing the “Excited about…” entry just here so that I can use it for “X”

Freaking out over my son demonstrating his mother’s tendency to lose EVERYTHING

Giving up thinking of something witty and original for “G”. “G” sucks

Happy because I came up with something for “G”

Insane for the new Japanese Restaurant we discovered. It’s not just the food, its the EXPERIENCE.

Joking about my caffeine addiction. Although my kidneys do NOT find it funny.

Kissing my dogs, cats, son and husband withOUT rinsing between.

Laughing over skipping “L” the first time. Man, I crack my alphabetical skills UP.

Mistaken for Jodie Foster dozens of times (I dont understand either…) and Kate Hudson once, in a wedding photo, but I’ll savor the compliment until the day I die. And Longer.

Need a mat to put under our new Eliptical Trainer.

Out of aluminum foil. How do I protect myself from the commucations of E.T.s now?

Praying for SUNSHINE

Quoting ALL of the TWOP Recappers whenever I’m discussing T.V. And trying to remember NOT to claim the wit as my own…

Reading funny chics all OVER the web. Check the sidebar

Saving for a house.

Trying to teach myself all about Style Sheets and Templates. I’m failing miserably.

Understanding why it took me over a week to finish this list. Its freakin’ impossible.

Voted “Most Dependable” as a senior in high school and “Most Changed” at my 10 year reunion this year. Does that mean I am no longer dependable…

Went to Catholic schools for 12 years. 12. Years. Seriously.

Xcited about seeing Keifer and Angelina on screen together, even if the movie sucks ass.

Yearning for 4pm so I can go warm up thanks to the 40 below weather INSIDE my office

Zoning out wondering how I was able to come up with “Z” easier than “G”.

The Worst Sweet 16 Gift EVAH.
Category: Zoot - the younger years | 1 Comment »

July 14, 1991. I woke up early that morning. Who wouldnt? It was my 16th birthday. I was going to get my driver’s license, and then I had a date with the love of my life, Doug P. He was tall, dark, and handsome, and I loved him dearly. Life was grand. We had been together 9 months, which was the longest I had ever dated anyone. For Christmas, Doug had given me an ID bracelet with my name engraved, and “Love, Doug” on the back. I knew this birthday would rock b/c he had already shown himself to be a romantic gift-giver. I dreamed about the upcoming date for weeks. I have always been a hopeless romantic, so I was planning for something big.

This is my “Valiversary” (our anniversary before we got married was Feb 16th, so we combined it with Valentines Day) gift from Mr. Zoot.

He MADE it.

From SCRATCH.

By himself.

With my sewing machine he gave me for Christmas that I havent used yet.

I am so lucky.

Happy Valiversary Babe, its been a great 4 years, and they DO get better dont they?

What Makes Me BITCH. A LOT.

  • Being out of Diet Coke
  • Deciding to screw the diet, but having nothing worth binging on, resulting in a binge of frosted mini-wheats or flavored oatmeal. Its one thing to forsake the diet for chocolate cake or McDonalds french fries, but apple cinamon oatmeal? that just doesnt make it all worth it.
  • When Target is out of their generic bags of frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Considering how Mr. Zoot eats AT LEAST 2 chicken breasts a day, sometimes 4, that is a BIG DEAL to have to buy Tyson.
  • “Correcting” my opinion. I mean, seriously - its subjective, I can not be wrong. I think Jennifer Love Hewitt is plain, I’m sorry if that bothers you, but I am NOT wrong.
  • Snoring Dogs.
  • Cats scratching furniture or stairs when they have a PERFECTLY functional scratching post.
  • Being out of fat free hazelnut creamer
  • Not having sweet-n-low for me to put in my coffee
  • South-haters who have never lived in the South.
  • Pretentious t.v. watchers. Just because you hate reality t.v. doesnt mean you are more academic than I am.
  • Being out of ibuprofen when my uterus decides its the time of the month to wage war on my body.
  • insulting my dogs, my cats, or anyone in my family for that matter. And yes, I DO know that I insult them all them time, but that is different.
  • people who dont let their children read Harry Potter. I dont think it makes them bad parents, but I love Harry Potter with all my heart. I want your kids to love him too.
  • telling me how it drives you crazy that i dont use correct grammar, punctuation, or spelling in my emails to you. i’m lazy - get over it.
  • When my dogs get more than one toy at a time out of their toy baskets. What? I dont pick up after the child I birthed, why should I have to pick up after my pets?
  • when you call me for no reason.
  • Being cold.
  • Being bloated.
