Housekeeping of the Blog Variety

So – I’ve made several changes around here that I wanted to point out to those of you constantly hiding behind the feed reader (I see you! You can’t hide from me!) 1) I moved the comment leaderboard from the bottom of my sidebar to the top. These lovely people keep my blog active when I can not and I don’t thank them enough. So – I feel like they deserve a little bit more attention than being thrust below my Blingo button. 2) I add the Gravatar Plugin... Read More

Can you ever have too much side-ponytail action?

Jen started this rockin’ flickr group where we could all proudly show off our pre-blogging selves. I’ve had a lovely time digging through my own scanned photos to find good candidates for this group. You can see all of my contributions so far here. This picture was my favorite. For so many reasons. First? You may not be able to tell but that awesomely blue satin dress with the one shoulder bow had a visible black crenalin under the skirt. It was itchy as hell but... Read More

And I HATE Scary Movies.

Thanks to Hollow Squirrel for this variation on the book meme I failed so miserable. It’s all about the Horror Movies this time around. I added a few in that I thought of and feel free to do the same! My husband and son love all scary movies and can guarantee you they’ve seen most of these several times. And they liked them. Their weird like that. Notice none of them are underlined, putting them on my “To Watch” list. No thank you. Bold those you’ve seen. Italicize... Read More

Hello, my name is “Zoot” and I’m a total moron

My family has a membership at our local botanical gardens. We are very proud of this membership and we use it often. We even went so far this year as to purchase $100 worth of Galaxy of Lights tickets to give out as Christmas presents. Galaxy of Lights brings Christmas decorations to the botanical gardens in the form of a fantasy wonderland. It’s awesome and we love it every year. Well – I still hadn’t gotten my tickets yet as of this weekend. When I received... 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.
