Much Better.

In case you’re reading in the feedreader, I wanted you to see what my new site design looks like. (I would never force you to come over from the feed reader to view it, I find comfort in my own feed reader as well and hate when I feel forced to leave it’s security.) (What? Too serious when referencing the relationship with my feed reader?) Do you like it? I used another... Read More

Don’t Forget!

Or – Don’t Let ME Forget! NaBloPoMo starts SATURDAY. That is a crappy day to start National Blog Posting Month, but I heard that Eden’s efforts to change the calendar this year to move November 1st to Monday didn’t work. (Just kidding! No one tried to change the calendar! I promise!) If you’re going to participate, set up an account at the above link.... Read More

How To Fix Something That May Be Driving You Crazy (But Is Most Definitely Making Me Insane)

Okay, so for a few weeks now my flickr badges (the one on the top and the one on the side) have been driving me INSANE. They both have had this little empty box next to the beginning of the badge screwing things up royally. I tried deleting the amount of photos, re-adding the code, and beating the computer with a hot frying pan. None of these things fixed this annoying issue. Then,... Read More

The One Where I Explain Myself To A Micro-Blogging Platform

I read this article on Friday that was written by Maggie Mason of MightyGirl.net. I immediately shared it out in my Google Reader because I thought it was SO spot on. I then Twittered about how I was rethinking my twitter existence because of the article, and might have mentioned that some things about Twitter annoy me. Then…two things happened. One – I discovered that... Read More

Photographic Evidence

Taking a page out of KMiller’s book regarding my email dilemma. (Thanks, Bethany.) This is an email chain from the protest group I somehow became a part of. See? Exciting stuff. I’m sad to see it go. Although, these emails came in after I emailed the lead to tell him I’m not the right person. Maybe he’s keeping me in the loop just for the hell of it? That’d... 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.
