Confessions

Can anyone tell me why I just purchase the PEOPLE magazine with Kirstie Alley on the cover next to the heading “Livin’ Large?” I’ve thought about it, over the last few minutes, I don’t really think I like her as an actress. Why did I buy this magazine? I watched Veronica’s Closet but that was for Kathy Najimy – who I love. I watched Look Who’s Talking, but not for HER. And what else has she done? I KNOW why I bought it. It’s... Read More

Today was the FOURTH “Monday” of the week since I had to leave my house at 5am to drive 60 miles to drop off a swimsuit for LilZoot that I forgot to put in his trunk We are going to see The Village this weekend.

Bambi – He makes his OWN rules

Posted by on July 30, 2004 · 17 Comments 

This is Bambi. LilZoot and I adopted him soon after my ex-hubby and I split. A consolation prize for LilZ maybe? Because I did NOT like cats at the time, but he wanted one. Bambi remembers life when he was the only animal. He likes to cope with this loss by making sure we all know he will do anything he wants and sleep where he desires. He’s such a bitch. Heh. Remember – he STEALS MY PILLOW! Click any of the pictures to see a larger version of his obstinance in a new... Read More

Is Target Cheating on me?

Posted by on July 29, 2004 · 22 Comments 

I just got back from Target, on my lunch break, and I saw something that could be potentially heartbreaking. There was a PEPSI truck out front, and PEPSI men bringing in new Soda Coolers to put in the aisles. Shit. Are they replacing the Coke coolers with PEPSI Coolers? I am a hard-core Coca-Cola girl. Right now? Target has alternating aisles, half are for PEPSI products, half are for Coke. Everytime I go there, I grab a Vanilla Diet Coke out of the Coke Cooler. They had better... Read More

Huh?

When we arrived at LilZ’s camp yesterday, we pulled up next to the greeter so she could tell us what cabin LilZoot would be in. This is the confusing conversation that followed: Greeter: Hi! Me: (I’m in the passenger seat. She’s at MrZ’s window) Hi! We have LilZoot here for camp! Greeter: (looking at her list o’ campers) LilZoot…yes. Do you have his medications with you? You can leave them here. Me: Um. What medications? He doesnt have any. Greeter:... 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.
