“Thank You” is Not Enough

Yes, those are tears I’m pointing at. I’m crying because I just got my first Cabbage Patch doll EVER. A great gift from a great friend. Thank you. Edited to add: Her name is Darcy Candace. Should I take her out of the box? The eternal question, right?  Read More

Questions for the Ages

I’ve Got Questions – Do you have answers? Why does the manager at Vitamin World smoke? I mean – she’s managing a store that makes money off of healthy people. Is that her way of “sticking it to the man”? Why is it that the day my boss brings in homemade éclairs, MY fridge is the only one with enough room to hold them all. Shouldn’t that be some form of illegal torture? THERE’S A WHOLE PLATE OF FREAKIN’ ÉCLAIRS TWO INCHES... Read More

Some Random Photos

Thanks for tolerating my last entry, and for not being disgusted by what I believe many find as inappropriate humor. I read billions of infertility blogs a day – and they get away with that type of humor, since that’s the focus of their blog, and their readers expect it. I wasnt sure if it would go over well with you guys. But – sometimes? It’s the best way to keep from crying. That? And LARGE amounts of alcohol. Oh, and MAD PROPS to Christine for the best... Read More

Break Ups Are Always So Hard

Dr. SoNice broke up with me today. He has been my OB/GYN for almost two years now. He seems to think we are not filling each other’s needs anymore. It’s really sad because we’ve had such good memories together. My favorite was when he told me the fetus that had been growing inside of me for 12 weeks was dead. Yeah, THOSE were good times. Alas, all good things must come to an end. And he’s right, he just can’t give me what I want – a nine-month... Read More

I’m Not Usually This Moronic. I SWEAR

My doctor’s appointment is today. This is the one where the doctor will sympathize with us having struggles and will provide any number of options for tests and treatments that will get me pregnant am hopefully KEEP me pregnant for at least nine months. Except that he really won’t. Because its the dead of winter and brilliant me left home with NO coat and NO socks. 40 degrees out and I’m dressed like its Springtime. I look like an idiot. An idiot who DEFINITELY... 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.
