Lotsa New Stuff

The Zoot household has a lot of things to be excited about. Here is a photo essay showing them all off! 1. New Parking Lot I wish I had taken pictures BEFORE the new pavement, because our parking lot was such a hazard. There were potholes that were so big, we periodically lost dogs and small children in them. But now look. Its so pretty. I think we may even get lines today. Our old lot was so old you couldnt see the lines. So – yeah lines! I kinda want to get LilZoot a... Read More

Churches in this town like to change their marquees to have inspirational quotes or words of wisdom. The church I saw today said “Wal-Mart Is Not The Only Saving Place” Of course not. We have two Super-Targets in this town. And right now? They have all of their groovy picnic and summertime goodies on sale 30% off. If I’m going to hell, I want to make sure I have some Hot Pink Citronella Candles and Aqua Striped Pool floats to take with me.  Read More

I spent my Saturday watching movies on the couch. Notice how I did not add a “with MrZoot” on the end of that statement. That is because he was building a deck extension, of course. My father-in-law’s birthday was Sunday, and my mother-in-law wanted MrZoot and his brother (BroA) to build an extension on the deck for the FIL’s grill. So – he went over Saturday at noon and came back around 9pm Saturday evening. Many many many hours working on this... Read More

Does Blogroll Hate Me?

Posted by on June 29, 2004 · 5 Comments 

Why in the HELL does blogrolling only show my blog as updated like, once a month. Does anyone know? Or can you give me a URL to ping that will alert blogroll that I’ve updated? I dont understand why it does sometimes, but not others. I ping the same defaults that Movable Type allows me to ping, everytime I publish, but I dont know who else to ping. Do you know? Did you manually tell MT to ping a URL that I dont have? (if we substituted the word “ping” with... 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.
