I promise…

Okay! Time for some discipline around here, people. I’ve been slacking on my blogging duties and I think that’s why I’ve been a bit cranky and emotional. If I don’t blog on a regular basis, it’s like a clogged drain. A buildup of bitching and pondering and whining and celebrating build up on my soul if I don’t release it on this blog and I start to just feel CRAPPY. Can you believe that? My emotional stability has come to fluctuate with the activity on my blog. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

So, I’m going to quit slacking off on the weekends and at night and I’m going to get back to updating this site regularly. And by “regularly” I mean “more than once a day” because we all know that if I’m only blogging once a day, then something is wrong. I’m going to update my Flickr photos (I’m taking gobs of pictures, just leaving them on my camera like a lazy ass) and maybe change the masthead! It’s going to be KRAZEE around here.

On that note – I’d like to draw your attention to the latest addition on my sidebar: The Reading Section. “But Zoot, that’s always been there!” Well, yes it has. But – now it’s new and improved! Now it requires almost zero effort on my part. It is lazy-friendly! It is now tied in to my Google Reader and all I have to do to tell you I found something I like is to click “share” on my Google Reader and Ta-Da! It’s updated on my sidebar. So, when I stumble upon some juicy celebrity gossip, or some exciting Harry Potter news, OR – if one of you writes something I find entertaining or brilliant (as usual) – I can mark “share” on my Google Reader and it will automatically update it here. IT’S A MIRACLE!

I’m a total Google Whore.

    I, too, am a Google Whore. I would totally marry Google if I could.

    I’ve been with Google ever since it was the Little Search Engine That Could (for about three days, I think it was anyway); I’m loving the idea of the Google Reader on the sidebar…hmm…

    I’ve turned into a Google whore recently myself. I love the share feature and started using it on my blog a couple weeks ago.

    You totally hate me now, right? ^_^

    A world without zoot blogging is a sad lonely world.

    I did notice you hadn’t been blogging on the weekends at all. Made me sad, but I figured you had the right to slack off if you wanted to. :/

    I just started using Google Reader, but I had no idea I could tie it into my sidebar! You’re such an inspiration, Zoot!

    I know exactly what you mean about the blog buildup syndrome! It’s an addiction, this outlet. I think I am starting to think in blog posts. When something happens in the course of the day, I find myself automatically casting it into phrases. I feel like it is altering me in subtle ways…

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.
