Singing Cheesy Tunes Down Memory Lane

Chris has a new post about Katherine who has a cool post. Now that I have credited everyone, I am going to do it here. It is a great idea – you should do it too. I think its more telling than the “100 things” or “ABCs of Me”. If you do one, drop me a comment to let me know. I’d like to read it. Well Hell – go tell Katherine also, since it is HER idea. Jeez – I’m so selfish sometimes… Read More  Read More

Fathers, Brothers, Lobster Hats, and Polaroids…

…the Recipe for Embarassment. What follows is truly an embarassing story. One of those events in my life that I, at the time, wished would end in my death, rather than proceed. But – I look back on it now and laugh my friggin’ ass off and would NOT trade it for the WORLD. You males may want to stop reading after the first sentence – but dont. If you have daughters, plan to have daughters, or even neices or step-daughters, you may want to stick with it... Read More

I’d LIke to Super-Size my Doctor’s Visit Please

So – in theme with my highly academic entry subjects this week, I am going to tell you a little story from my birthday this past summer. I took Lil’Zoot to Georgia the weekend before my birthday to see his dad and his aunt. His aunt had a softball tourney and we decided to camp out that night. However – the first campground we stopped at kinda made me feel like I was about to play the lead in some 1980s horror flick. As we were looking around, and I was saying... Read More

I’m Addicted to Office Supplies.

Okay, I finally know what is missing from my life. Its not a child, I have one of those. It is not true love, I have one of those too. It is not a job, a car, financial stability, or a pair of Super Fly Kicks, because I have all of those. I need a new pen. You see, I love buying and trying new pens. I cannot, and will not, leave any office supply store without buying a new pen to try. But y’all? The last 2 or 3 I have bought – SUCK. They arent a smooth line, or they... Read More

If These Dogs Could Speak…

So, we’ve been getting to know each other for awhile now, havent we? Well – I feel like I have been hiding some of my darker sides from you. It felt so good to come clean about my dislike of Seinfeld, I thought maybe I could unload my other secrets here. You see, since I was raised Catholic, I was taught that I am supposed to confess my sins to get to heaven. Well, I am not practicing anymore (why practice? I’m a professional! Ba Da Bomp! Thank you, I’ll... Read More

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my blog that I've been writing on since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot as it's a derivative of an old childhood nickname. I used to write about my struggles to have children, but eventually I succeeded and now, I write a lot about those kids. I don't use my kid's exact names simply because if someone Googles their very unique names in the future, I don't want them stumbling upon my entries about boobsweat. I mean, would you hire someone whose Mom writes openly about such topics? NO. YOU WOULD NOT.

I love taking pictures and carry my camera (almost) everywhere I go. This means you'll see a lot of photos on this site. I also periodically post recipes I like as I've been slowly (but surely) learning to cook and I like to share my discoveries. Finally? I'm an annoying pop culture fanatic so I'll periodically ramble about Hunger Games or the latest Parks and Recreation.

I hope you like it here. If not? Please don't tell me. I cry easily.
