On the Road Again…

In about 1 hour I’ll be hitting the road to make a 300 mile drive I’ve made no less than 100 times. I drove it every other weekend for three years taking LilZoot down to see his Dad. Believe it or not – his Dad and I were friends then – and only become NON-friends when MrZ and I married. It’s going to be VERY weird – making that drive with MrZoot. We will hang out in Columbus, with Junkie and Stace, and get LilZoot from the ex-husband for Tonight so that he can hang out with Junkie and Stace’s daughters – his nearest and dearest friends.

Of course – He could see Ariel (Junkie’s daughter) more often if his Dad would swallow his pride and give Junkie a call to get the kids together once in awhile. Oh well…not everyone can be as perfect as ME. Hehehe.

Where was I? Oh yeah – Columbus, GA. This means I’ll get to celebrate New Years on EASTERN time, and actually watch the ball drop for REAL, as opposed to an hour ahead of time. I havent rung in the New Year alongside the people in Madison Square in TEN YEARS. It’s much better celebrating WITH them, as opposed to an hour BEHIND them.

Although – every other day of the year? I much prefer living in Central Time. The TV schedule is better this way! And that’s what’s important now, isnt it?

OH! And I’m forgetting the coolest part: I’m going to meet my first BLOGGER. How cool!

  1. Snif. Snif. I thought you would come to visit my in Michigan first. :(

    Have a good time anyway. I hope the blogger doesn’t turn out to be a psycho waiting to kill you or something. It happens. Well, not alot. Ok, I read a book about it once. Bring a gun. Or just bring Mr. Zoot. He’s a tough guy. He can take him.

    Good luck!

    Ga. is not that far – why not swing up here to Jersey and celebrate at Times Square and see the ball drop in person! I think that is a GREAT idea – we can even get you some Krispy Kremes..( I heard bribery works with you)

    Happy New Year, Zoot!

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.
