Where is Synergy When You Need Her?

As much as I would LOVE to go into detail of my Fantastically Fabulous Sunday, I can’t yet because all the pictures are on my home computer and that entry just isn’t complete without cute pictures of my husband using a nail gun. Until then, I have a thought. This is a very serious thought – so if you are used to the light hearted babbling, prepare yourself for a philosophic monologue beyond your most existential dreams. hee. I was in the mall on my lunch break... Read More

And the Winner Was…

Do you want to know who made the final decision for me as to what movie I would go see yesterday? My Uterus. Yep. My uterus had already made plans for me to spend the entire day bawled up on the couch cramping and popping ibuprofen like they were sweet tarts. So? I watched a bunch of DVDs I own, but havent seen yet. 1)Le Divorce This was a nice movie. It was not anything like I thought it was going to be. I tend to get certain previews and reviews mixed up and form my own movie... Read More

Cinematic Decisions

I’m making MrZoot take me to a movie this afternoon. I can’t decide which to see. 1)The Notebook This was the first Nicholas Sparks book I ever read. I loved it with all my heart and it moved me emotionally in a way no other love story ever has (I am a HUGE sucker for a love story). I have read every other one of his books and been horribly disappointed that they weren’t like The Notebook. Some of the books I even became angry at they were sooooo unlike it.

Friday Bullets – Unmentionables: MENTIONED!

In about 60 hours, I will have my son back. In my home. Where he belongs. It has been a long week. Thank you all for not minding me whining too much all week. You’re the best! My dogs would not normally want spinach off my plate. However, if I am standing at the stove, cutting up a chicken breast, and accidentally flip over a sauce pan of hot spinach all over the floor, they will eat it all, regardless of taste or temperature. Afterwards- they will suffer disappointment... Read More

One Ticket Aboard the 4:00pm Ark, please.

In case I get washed away by the Great Flood (Noah? Where the Hell are you with that damn boat already?!) I just wanted you guys to know that its been fun getting to know each of you… Seriously. Its still raining in such a way that I am thinking about hitching a ride home on next available current. Who cares if its also sweeping yesterday’s road kill and several abandoned cars away with it, it is still safer than driving in this mess. The drainage ditch creek behind... 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.
