My Gift Back To You: Blogger Spotlight

So you all do want to get me out of jail after all! After someone emailed me alerting me to having forgotten them in the Blogger Spotlights – I searched my gmail for their forwarded confirmation and where was it? In the Spam Folder! And since there were MANY MANY more with the same Fwd subject line in there with it, I’m assuming I accidentally marked one as spam and... Read More

Catheroominations by Catheroo Catheroo wrote a fantastic entry about “channeling Winona Ryder” and learning a very unusual lesson after her experience and then being caught - I still vividly remember the gaudy rhinestone and blue crystal necklace that I would wear to play dress up. And I was convinced the jewels were real and so happy to show them off and tell the story... Read More

A is for Aardvark First – let me go on record as saying I know this woman personally and I wish she would update her site more because she’s interesting, intelligent, and damn funny. My favorite entries are the ones she just recently started called “Yours Truly.” She has a Volume I and Volume II and my favorite of both is the following: Dear Man in the Red... Read More

My Own Circle Of Confusion by M&Co M&Co has written a few too many things about yummy food which might have made me drool a little bit on my keyboard. She discusses the burning that ensued while making jalapeño poppers and while I kind felt sorry for her, in reality I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I wanted to eat them RIGHT NOW. Why didn’t she send... Read More

This is my first round of Blogger Spotlights for people who have donated to the MDA to get me out of jail. I’m trying to do these in order so as to be fair, but as luck would have it, my first two are from incredibly awesome bloggers. I hope the rest are as easy to spotlight! Alice’s Adventures Underground by NG The first entry I’m featuring from NG is her attempt... 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.
