Okay - I just read all of the comments on my last entry and I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Someone like me - a runner who isn’t going to break any speed records, and might possibly have the ugliest run style around, and sometimes leaves ass-sweat behind on chairs at Starbucks - needs the motivation from friends and family to keep going sometimes. And today, while waking up feeling so. damn. sore, I am totally going off my “You Go, Girl!” comments from you guys and from my friends and family to keep me from curling up in the fetal position and crying all day.

And last night? If you don’t have me, Scott, Pam, and Jon on your gmail contact list, then having any one of us would have been confusing as we kept changing our custom gmail availability messages to communicate with each other.

(Yes, we could have used the chat function, but that wouldn’t have been near as fun.)

Some of the availability messages you would have seen if you only had one of us on your list (These are not quoted perfectly as gmail doesn’t save those for me to see, dammit):

“Take an ice bath, Zoot”
“I don’t wanna!”
“Jon’s crazy, take drugs and wine”
“Pam is a drunk druggie”
“I (heart) drunk druggies”
“What the hell is Gu?”
“You didn’t use gu?”
“I heart the internet”
“I heart beer”

But seriously: If I make it across the finish line at the Mardi Gras Marathon in February - I will owe all of you Krispy Kreme donuts as a “thanks” - but I’ll probably eat them before they ever make it to your hands. I’m apologizing in advance for that.

I am an Official Card Carrying Member of the ACLU, if you must know. (I love saying that. I don’t know why.) I got a letter from them yesterday that says on the front: “Should your most personal decisions be made at your house or the White House?”

So - todays T13 is in honor of that:

13 Personal Decisions I Don’t What the White House Making For Me
But wouldn’t it be interesting if they did?

1. Do I want fries with that?
2. Thongs or granny panties?
3. What will I name future children? Future pets? Future bowel movements?
4. Future children: Yay or Nay?
5. Do these pants make me look fat?
6. Should I try those new tampons?
7. What should I get my husband for our anniversary?
8. Who should be in charge of changing the kitty litter?
9. Blonde or Red?
10. Should I buy the more expensive running bra?
11. Is my boob-sweat showing through my shirt?
12. What should I be for Halloween?
13. Condoms or The Pill?

So, amalah emailed me yesterday. Evidently, one of her readers had been perusing her archives when she stumbled upon a link to me. However, instead of the link being to misszoot.com - it was too an old URL that I used while Yahoo! domains held misszoot.com hostage. (Long story). This old domain, for those of you who weren’t around back then, has evidently been torn into a Pr0n site! Can you believe it? My old domain is now where you can go to see girls with no clothes on. I’m shocked! My poor little innocent domain, now is all dirty and…naked.

So, if you are one of the few who were around back then, you may want to make sure that link isn’t floating around in your archives either. I’m fairly certain you don’t need a link on your site to p0rn. And if you can’t remember my old domain name…it’s I’m the Zoot dot com. Without the apostrophe. That is NOT safe for work - in case you didn’t get the gist of this entry. You know, that the URL that used to house my blog is now…not a mommyblog anymore, that’s for damn sure.

This should not be cracking me up as much as it is. I love the original “Catch Me Ridin’ Dirty” - but I think it would make more sense for me to sing this version.

Monkey in a Suit is one of my favorite sites - she is a recent graduate from law school, embarking on a new career, in a new city (LA) and navigating the Single Life waters while doing so. This gal is one sassy, Indian-American with a different take on dating, cooking, TV, books, and politics. Be sure to check out the Waxed Glory that is Monkey.
