the zeitgeist of zoe

In case you find yourself wondering why you are here…reading this blog, not like the bigger, existential question of what your purpose is on this planet – I’m good but I’m not that good…here are some things you can expect to find me blathering on about in my little corner of the blogosphere:

• Planning/organizing systems:  I am one of those trendy über nerds who, despite being thoroughly wired in, also carry a leather  day planner filled with high quality paper and a ridiculously expensive pen with which to write in it.  Being a collector, I have a lot of ’em.  Also being somewhat neurotic, I tend to switch in and out of planner brands and formats at the whim of season, fashion and/or mood.  For some reason, I will assume you will be as excited to read about this as I am to write about it.

• My weight: I am woman, hear me unwrap a whoopie pie. I have been gaining and losing the same 10 pounds since college. Sometimes I win the battle of the bulge, sometimes the bulge wins (and brings friends). Problem is, I love food, wine and socializing and all the eating, drinking, going out and sleeping in the day after tends to cut into my gym time.  Who am I kidding…what gym?  Some day I hope to blog about embarking on a healthier lifestyle. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, however.

• iThings:  I have an iPhone, an iPad, several iPods and iLovethem.  So from time to time when I stumble across a thrilling new app or one of my iDevices affects my life in some profound way, you may find yourself wondering why you are bothering to read about it. But you’ll read it anyway because by then you will have become addicted to my wry humor and pithy insights.

• Men:  ‘Nuff said.

• Whatever I think is humorous, important, vexing, unimaginably stupid, heartwarming, heart-wrenching or inspiring going on in the world. Or my world.  Whatever. These are the bits that will no doubt piss people off.  Look at me…do I look like I care?

So throw off your expectations, sit back, relax and enjoy. I won’t promise you knowledge, enlightenment or an expanded world view.  But I can promise you this…

…it will never be dull.
