Bizarro world scares me

Three VERY weird things that have happened this week that make me think something is not right in the universe.

#1 – Two days ago, I looked into the office of a co-worker and saw an old neighbor of mine from a million years ago. The last time I saw this guy I was probably wearing fishnet hose, oxblood Doc Martens, and toting around a pre-schooler. I was still in college 80 miles away, studying Biology, and hadn’t even learned what the A Drive on a computer was. I was probably also spending a lot of time Hackey-Sacking. In other words? A LONG TIME AGO. I didn’t get to talk to him that day, but he’s back today and we just caught up. If you can call standing there saying “Wow! Small World!” catching up. We’ve exchanged emails and I hope to catch up more later.

#2 – Many moons ago (three years or so), I took LilZ to a daycare BEFORE school in the morning, and they would take him to school for me and I would get to work early. There was a guy who brought his son to the same daycare at the same time (buttcrack of dawn) every morning. We haven’t gone there in years so I haven’t seen the guy or his son in years. Today? At NikkiZ’s daycare on the opposite side of town? I saw the same guy again.

#3 – I am the only girl in my office, so I kinda have my own bathroom. Rarely there may be another woman here for a meeting, but they don’t usually use the bathroom. Since I’m the only one who uses it, I don’t have a problem leaving my toothbrush and toothpaste on the sink. Well, I can in this morning and my toothbrush had been moved and put inside this little trinket on the back of the toilet. That’s not the weird part because sometimes the cleaning crew moves it to clean the sink. But there was also a TRAVEL TOOTHBUSH CONTAINER sitting next to my toothbrush. Like, someone decided to leave me a present for my toothbrush. How weird is that? I’m totally not going to use that toothbrush again (seems weird) but isn’t that strange? Did someone from the cleaning crew leave me a gift for my toothbrush? What the hell?

    The toothbrush holder gift is … sweet? Creepy? I can’t decide. But yeah, I wouldn’t be using that toothbrush again either.

    I’d have to say that I wouldn’t leave my toothbrush un attended…I’ve heard of too many navy stories from the man re: odd placement of toothbrushes….disgusto mundo

  3. Carrisa says:

    Yeah maybe the cleaning crew was just looking out for your health by giving you that. But yes totally buy a new toothbrush.
    As far as the rest of the post… um… I dunno… I can’t think of anything clever to say.

    I wouldn’t be able to leave a toothbrush unattended either, I’m too parinoid about what may happen when I’m not in the bathroom with the toothbrush…

    I guess that was either a nice gesture or someone’s way of saying, ‘put that damn toothbrush away!’

    I have a bizarro friend that is connected to just about everyone I know, but we never met each other until 2 years ago. Every time we go out and one of his friends comes to, I know the friend somehow. It is weird, and it is a small world.

    The toothbrush story creeps me out.

    Not only wouldn’t I use the old one, I’d be scared to leave a new one in there.

    How weird. Apparently someone was grossed out enough by your toothbrush to go out on their own time and with their own money to cajole you into hiding it.

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.
