I’m feeling really inadequate right now

You know how you feel all good about yourself when you figure something new out on the computer? Or is that just me? I’ll be all “Look! I made a webpage!” and I’ll get all cocky like I’m a big computer geek like all the cool kids. Then? My BFF’s eleven-year-old daughter goes and teaches herself to make animated .gifs like the one above (teaches HERSELF) and makes me one for my goofy little website. She’s the cool one, not me. She’s ELEVEN for chrissakes. And she MADE this for ME.

Thanks LaLa! I love you!

    Yeah, my daughter is the same way…. granted, she’s a little older than LaLa (she’s 14), but she has a wicked way with Paint Shop Pro.

    SO pretty. :) I made a glittery thing once but I’m sure I’ve long since forgotten how on earth to do it. I’m scared at what my son is going to outdo me at in the years to come. YIKES!

    She’s 11 ! I’m 31 and I don’t know how to make one of those sparkly animated gifs and I’m an animator! I knew the day would come when elementary kids would be able to do our job. I guess I should tell the rest of the guys here to put down our wacom pens and weep. Boo hoo. Smart neice tho.

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.
