MrZ – A Resource for ALL Bloggers

As you well know, MrZoot publishes all my entries for me during the day, thanks to our new fancy firewall here at work. Well today? I get this email: My internet is down! this is from cell. Can u post a little on my blog? whenever u can. This sux! Have a great day! Pam And I’m all “Yeah! Sure! Zoot to the rescue!” But then I’m all “Shit. I can’t see her blog, much less the blogger page for me to login at.” So, I call up (if by “call”... Read More

TV Time

Lost was even better this week than it was last. If you arent watching it, then watch the 2-hour premier on Saturday and catch up, because it’s awesome. I’d really like to bring up some of the twists, but I don’t want to ruin it. But did I mention it was awesome? The Apprentice. I am so ashamed to be a woman right now that I might just rip out my uterus and start wearing a tie to work every day. There were two women this week who did not make me want to take... Read More

LilZoot – The Man of the Hour

LilZoot had quite a bit of responsibility the day I got married. He had to escort Ariel and Leah down the aisle during the bridal party procession, and he had to circle back around to come escort me down the aisle. Since my brain turned to mush about 30 minutes before the wedding (Seriously mush. But that’s a story I’ll save for another day.), he had to remember to do that himself. So when I saw him back out next to me before my song played, I thought “Wow. He... Read More

Kids say the darndest things…

Phone conversation between LilZ and I yesterday: LZ – “Mom, everyone is picking on me and SuzyQ now.” Z – “Because you all are boyfriend and girlfriend?” LZ – “Yeah. Because we’re the only successful couple in the class.” Conversation between Stace and Leah: L – “Does God have a husband?” S – “Uh…No.” (her first instinct was God as a woman) L – “Does He have a wife?” S... Read More

Cool Words

So, I’ve decided I like the word gregarious. I am going to try to work it into conversation more because it’s just a cool word. Do you have any words like that? That you just like? Quintessential. Thats another one, but I’m not sure exactly how to use that one, so I don’t. But I like it when other people use it. What are your favorite words?  Read More

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my website where I've been writing since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot - 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 have taken up long distance running as a hobby and chronicle that journey a lot here. 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.
