Bullets…It’s Been Awhile.

Anyone see SNL this weekend? Is it just my unabashed love for Neil Patrick Harris or did it just seem AWESOME? I’m biased, so it’s hard to tell. I’ve officially seen Twilight five times now. I have not seen a movie at a theater outside of the Harry Potter movies (which I always have to see twice to really enjoy them) since I was a teenager. I’m so lame. I find myself continually amazed at how some people choose to convey their points online. Two people... Read More

Project Done. THANK GOD.

One day. ONE DAY. That’s how long it took us to accumulate that pile of trash. If you’ll recall, we kept track of our trash for a whole week so that we could really see how wasteful we are. As you can see above? ONE DAY. Have I mentioned that? ONE DAY. I definitely learned a lot over the last week. To start things off on a positive note, I’ll start with the good things I noticed. While my box/can cooking style might not be that exciting for my family, it... Read More

Our Neighbors Think We’re Killing Each Other

We’ve been playing Hide-n-Go Seek the last few nights in our house. It’s mainly an excercise for NikkiZ to try to help her understand the game more, but we’re failing miserably. She still uses many of these techniques while playing: Tells you where she’s hiding before you count. “You go count, I’m going to hide here.” Leaves her hiding place as soon as she hears you nearby. Picks the same hiding place several times in a row, but still... Read More

The Things I Learn From This InterWeb

I’ve learned a lot of things from my commenters. Things that have BLOWN my mind! Like, you don’t all call shopping carts buggies? Really? Or – that some of you? Put your salt in the shaker with the fewer holes because you WANT to, and not because your husband MAKES you. I mean…diversity? Right here! But I found something HUGE out yesterday. Blew my damn mind, people. And I feel like I need to seek out the truth of this accusation. I heard yesterday, that... Read More

One of My Many Attempts At Being More Cool

Happy Monday! I’m feeling incredibly out of sorts as I try to master my new 2009 daily schedule which will allow me time to meet a lot of my resolutions. I’m trying not to be hard on myself for messing a few days early on as it’s hard to remember the new changes when I’m used to the old way of life. For example: Daily Showers. I mean, how am I supposed to remember that when I’m used to going a whole week without one? (Hee.) I mentioned last week... 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.
