Office Supplies: The Cure All

Posted by on November 16, 2007 · 20 Comments 

You know what I did yesterday? I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out why something didn’t work getting flustered and stressed, investigating solutions, only to realize it did work, I just wasn’t patient enough to wait and see the results. So, to make up for it, do you know what I did? I went to Staples. With my kids. As we pulled into the Staples parking lot, LilZ... Read More

I need an intervention

Remember this photo? I posted that photo about a year ago to document the sickness I have with compulsively buying new calendars and spending HOURS re-writing birthdays and anniversaries in each one. How about these resolutions? Especially this one: 7. Do not buy any more calendars this year. Amen. I have this bad habit of buying new calendars every few months. Not only is... Read More

Guess what I did on Monday? I’ll give you a hint – It’s my FAVORITE activity in the WORLD that does not involve alcohol or nudity. Come on…you know what it is…guess! School Supply Shopping! And this year? I got to take Stace’s daughters with me because really, who better to go school supply shopping with than the Queen of Pens herself: Miss Zoot.... Read More

I got tagged by Chrispian to do the 7 things meme. BUT – I’ve done a few variations of that the last few weeks and am out of “unusual” things to tell about myself. (Other than my mayonnaise fetish, but we won’t talk about that.) (Hee. Just Kidding.) (Or am I?) Anyway – so I thought I’d make a variation I could complete, because I’m... Read More

The pen doesn’t fall far from the desk

Posted by on February 22, 2007 · 14 Comments 

I was given a batch of reject pens to take home earlier this week. They were donated to the LilZ and Zoot Pen Addict collection. I took them to LilZ and told him to go through them first before I did, that way I wouldn’t have to put myself in a position where I take the good pen for myself or let him have it. Because we know who would win that argument. LilZ came to me awhile... 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.
