My worship service

I have been working on designs like a MAD women for the past week or so. Short from two separate trips to Target yesterday (one for groceries, on for fun, give me a break) and one trip to Staples (pens!) I spent the ENTIRE day in front of my laptop. I even brought my laptop to BED last night (it’s so fun to be married to me). All of this was starting to make me twitch ever so slightly. So, for a change of scenery? I toted myself to Atlanta bread this afternoon for some... Read More

My HERO

Oh. My. Sweet. God. In. Heaven. MrZ just killed the BIGGEST hornet I’ve ever seen in my ENTIRE life. And I’m not even exaggerating. It was so big I’m thinking it was actually NOT a very large hornet, but maybe a very small dragon. Or dinosaur. SCARY. I would have taken a picture but I was too busy being all “OHMIGOD don’t get that thing NEAR ME! eeeeek GET IT AWAY FROM ME!” (Yes. It was already dead at that time. Imagine if I would have seen... Read More

Two at ONE TIME

I FINALLY finished a new design for my old neighbor, MrsRum. Go say “Hi!” to her and ask her if she misses us around the old apartment complex! And then, I finished another design for Warm Heatherette…go tell her, “Hi!” too! I’ve been BUSY today. Can ya’ tell?  Read More

The one where we all get comfy.

Because I’m always so FREAKIN’ hot, and because I’m 30lbs heavier than I was 6 months ago, and because I’m swollen and sore, I can NEVER EVER seem to find a comfortable position to be in for more than 4.2 minutes. Last night? I decided cross-legged and bent over a bit was a comfy position to work on my laptop. And then cisco? Decided he would work with MY new comfy position to find his OWN. WARNING: I put these pictures in the extended entry because I’m... Read More

So the “Naked Co-Ed Pot Smoking” t-shirt is out?

I just went to register LilZ for after-school care. I thought it would be a quick, fill out a few forms, sign a few permission slips, and we’re outta there, type of experience. Nope. There turned out to be about ninety million forms AND THREE of them need to be winessed and signed by a freakin’ notary republic. I didn’t even have to do that to get him registered for SCHOOL and this is just after-school care. Then, LilZ and I were going through the papers and... 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.
