Pushing For The Change I Can Believe In

I’ve not gotten political around her since the election, but outside of this blog? I’ve actually gotten more political than ever in my life. I’ve been emailing my senators and my congressmen since the 111th Congress opened because for the first time in my LIFE, I’m inspired to be part of the Change we can Believe in. I’m educating myself and I’m... Read More

Hmmm….I don’t know what to think about some of your responses. Especially those of you who chose Target over Wal-Mart because you don’t “have one where I live” – are you all okay? Life without Target? Isn’t that cruel and unusual punishment? Here are my answers - 1. Chick-Fil-A – I KNOW! But y’all don’t understand. My... Read More

So, Chris mentioned that she lives in Alaska where there is no Krispy Kreme or Chick-Fil-A – and it got me wondering, which would I prefer? So – let’s play a little game, shall we? You live somewhere remote – and you are deciding what businesses to populate your town with – which would you choose? 1. (a) Krispy Kreme (b) Chick-Fil-A 2. (a) Target (b)... Read More

I’m ruling the Universe again…

Let’s get back to my favorite topic, shall we? If I ruled the world… ***** I think I would like to make a policy on my planet that people can be jailed and possibly flogged for spitting out their gum anywhere other than a trash receptacle. I stepped on another piece of damn gum today, for…like the third time in just a few weeks. This pisses me off to no end because,... Read More

Planet Zoot

I’ve been trying to pay more attention to my categories and how I use them on each entry. I’m trying to put a little more thought into it as the blog gets bigger and my archives gain more girth. (My archives: “Did you just call us fat?”) I started a new category just now called “If I Were In Charge.” I decided to do a ongoing set of entries about... 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.
