Getting My Weekly Boost

Posted by on November 2, 2011 · 3 Comments 

For those of you not obsessed with Glee, here is a normal blog entry for you! See? NaBloPoMo makes me want to please EVERYONE! I’ve been trying to force myself to take the kids on ONE outing every weekend. Our lives are crazy with theater, soccer, running, parties, trips, and work – and we often can go several days without having quality time together. It’s either rushing to get ready for school in the morning, or rushing to get ready for bed in the evening.... Read More

Why Is McKinley Blaine So Much Mousier Than Warbler Blaine?

Posted by on November 2, 2011 · 12 Comments 

We all know my love for A Very Potter Musical makes me biased towards Darren Criss, who plays Blaine Anderson, but I have to get this off my chest: IS BLAINE TURNING INTO A DWEEB? I love that Glee is handling Blaine/Kurt like they would any other couple on the show. They are even bringing in another character to fight for one of them – the adorable Grant Gustin seen in the photo here. (Sidenote: He tweeted me recently. YES, HE DID.) But it feels like they have taken the... Read More

Halloween + NaBloPoMo

Halloween 2000 and Halloween 2011 – Power Rangers NEVER EXPIRE If you’ll recall, our old neighborhood did Halloween in the BIGGEST and BEST way possible. So, when we moved into this house last year, we thought this neighborhood was kinda lame. (On a hill, houses far apart, not trick-or-treat friendly.) Turns out?

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.
