Nikki watches a lot of ‘Glee’ with me. Now, let me start by making 2 things clear: #1) I’m a die-hard Gleek and try to force anyone around me to watch it with me every week. #2) I still proof many episodes before letting my daughter watch them. Some of the more adult-themed episodes (Like when Britney believed in Santa Clause) I watch first and then let her see... Read More

Picture 13

I’ll be honest. Until several months ago I was simply a casual YouTube user. I watched whatever videos went viral but beyond that? Eh. Whatevs. Then E turned me onto Daily Grace. And that’s when I discovered that there are people who create fresh content regularly on their own YouTube channels. WHO KNEW? It’s just like blogging, but with videos, which is why the... Read More

Source: FOX I’m not a dancer. WHAT? I know, you’re totally surprised. But I love to watch dancing. I absorb every routine on So You Think You Can Dance every summer like it’s crack. I have my favorite choreographers (Wade Robson and Travis Wall) and my favorite dancers (Mark Kanemura and Mark Kanemura). So, of course I notice the dancing on Glee and in my personal,... Read More

I’ve been giving up on a lot of shows lately. Mainly procedurals that take themselves too seriously. It started way back when with C.S.I.. A show that takes so many liberties with the realm of truthful possibilities MUST NOT TAKE ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY or I have to give up on it. The latest victims: Criminal Minds and Hawaii 5.0. But since I have SO MUCH FREE TIME (sarcasm... Read More

We all know that E asked that I read several of his favorite books and in 2011, I really tried to knock a few off that list. One of them was Looking For Alaska. It is written by the much adored John Green. And I don’t use the term “much adored” loosely. Once I mentioned reading that book? People all over the interwebs yelled at me, “YAY! You are reading... 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.
