I’m officially old. Again.

We had a choir performance to go to last night starring the one, the only, LilZ! Well…starring him and a couple hundred other kids….but you get my point. He was the only one we cared about. They were tricky, those organizers. They squeezed in PTA business right before the performances because they knew the majority of us wouldn’t come to a PTA meeting. The woman... Read More

I’m in love

DUDE. You all know I made my Wedding cake out of donuts, right? WELL. Guess what I found? A glazed donut necklace. And it’s scented. I don’t think I would ever buy that necklace, because I’m afraid it is grouped with light-up holiday sweaters: Stuff I Find Totally Awesome But Would Never Wear. But – it is out of stock. Which means other people don’t... Read More

Woo Hoo!

For those of you wondering what ever happened to our old camera, you’ll be happy to learn that it as of this morning, we still hadn’t gotten it back from the repair shop. It was supposed to be repaired and returned by the 19th. As far as the online-status is concerned, it is still being “Shipped to Repair Center” which indicates that either (a) The repair... Read More

My daddy never taught me how to dress myself

I mentioned going to Diva Night at our running store awhile back. They talked me into buying two different pairs of running shorts to try out. The kind with the built in underwear. I haven’t worn clothes with built in underwear EVER…it seemed a little odd to me. But hey – I’m not one to question the excellence of pre-installed panties, so I bought the two... Read More

Do you think we’ll win an award?

NikkiZ’s daycare has a policy regarding injury on their property. They fill out an “incident report” that describes what happened, what injury was sustained, and what care was given. So far, in the month of November, we’ve had about SIX of these things we’ve had to sign. They all say basically the same thing: NikkiZ busted her ass on something and sustained... Read More

Hi. I’m Kim.

This is my website where I've been writing since January, 2004. I call myself Zoot - 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 have taken up long distance running as a hobby and chronicle that journey a lot here. 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.
