I live with 2 very crazy cats and 2 old hippies in a nice new townhome. And this blog is, as the title says, about my pursuit of life (along with my pursuits of liberty and happiness).discodamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570295637351707850noreply@blogger.comBlogger10125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105932188368565094.post-77781485700798523942015-08-05T18:22:00.002-05:002015-08-05T18:22:33.081-05:00ENOUGH WITH THE THEATER SHOOTINGS!!!If you haven't heard yet, there was an attack at our local movie theater. PlaidMan and I were about to tune in the Weather Channel, but when we turned on the TV Channel 5 came on and said there had been a shooting at the Hickory 8 theater. The only one killed was the suspect (thank God), and only minor injuries for three of the victims. Details are still coming in on local news, I'll post more later.discodamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570295637351707850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105932188368565094.post-29036819739110091012015-07-25T23:19:00.001-05:002015-07-25T23:26:25.884-05:00More from AntiochTwo posts in one year!! Is it a sign of the end times? Nope, just me deciding to check the blog and post something. Changed the header and some of my profile info. (sigh). Must get to Texas, must get to Texas soon. I don't know how much longer Pup is going to be around, and I've already lost Nana, Grandpa Tom, and Grandma Betty (if y'all follow Mom's blog too, I don't mean my Uncle Steve's mom, who's name is also Betty). <b>One</b> grandparent left, and I don't spend enough time with him.Are we getting a little sad here? Time to brighten things up! As told in the last post (from April), the PlaidPatrol has moved. We've settled into the new place nicely, and we've been doing some exploring around Antioch. I've had multiple encounters with the local spider populations (wolf spiders and brown recluses), TomTom upset the squirrel family living in our backyard, and man were they noisy! It's after 11 pm, so time to go for now.discodamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570295637351707850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105932188368565094.post-8660170673872583302015-04-02T17:25:00.003-05:002015-04-02T17:25:49.209-05:00I'm still hereRemind me to change my header. Well, obviously I'm not co-authoring CeltChick's blog, <i>Tres Divine</i>. But if you've been reading my mom's blog, you would know that the Plaid Patrol has moved to new digs. We're in Antioch now and our new house has two floors! I'm living in the basement (it was made into living space by the previous home owner) and it's not scary at all. We have some nice neighbors around us, and multiple flocks of wild turkeys in the woods nearby. There's also a skunk that likes to visit the back porch (we wish it would stop). We have a pool just a short walk from the backdoor. We're no longer a million miles from everything! There will be more activity on this blog, probably just posts about turkey and squirrel encounters, setting up bird feeders, and filling in the little fish pond (there are no fish in the pond anymore).discodamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570295637351707850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105932188368565094.post-20537927657912712882011-02-20T14:52:00.001-06:002011-02-20T14:53:47.510-06:00hi there!O.K. everybody, big news: I’m going to be co-authoring on my Mom’s blog, Trés Divine, on a regular basis (as in more often than on this blog). Starting this Spring, I’ll be posting at least once a month, and I’ll also post the start/end of events on mom’s blog. <br />Speaking of events; Mom is having a giveaway on Trés Divine: four pairs of hand-knitted fingerless mitts, and two sets of hand-made stitch markers. For complete details, please go to my mom’s blog: www.tresdivine.blogspot.com; look for the post titled “Cha-cha-changes”,discodamehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11570295637351707850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105932188368565094.post-64561126574758239822010-04-13T22:50:00.004-05:002010-04-13T23:06:28.431-05:00Hello, World!!I'm baaack (again)!!!

To Boss Lady: I meant that in a good way, really I did!! And thanks for helping me with the spelling. And if you let me stay, I promise to keep the Beasts occupied while your knitting.<br /><br />To Visitors: Well I said I'd post some pics, so here they are: first Miss Hinky-Boo, then Hink & TomTom, and last, just TomTom (with me in the background!). Now for pics of The Family (in order of rank): <strong>BossLady,</strong><em>(she's on the left)</em><strong> PlaidMan,</strong><em>(that's his mom on the left, and the top of my head @ the bottom)</em><strong> </strong>and myself, <strong>DiscoDame.</strong><em>(without my glasses!)</em><br /><br />Will somebody PLEASE bring high-speed interwebs out to Joelton?!?! Sorry folks, but the innerwebs out here are too slow for me to add pics right now. I'll have to try at school, check back often. P.S.: The pics are here!

Oh, well. A lot has happened since the last time I posted (and that was, what, eight months ago?), that I just don't know where to start! I think I'll start with the most recent and work my way back. Well, we've got a new <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">TV</span> (yeah!!!), and 3 weeks ago <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Plaid Man</span>(dad) and I were on our way home from Kroger when The Prince of the Forrest decided to attack The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Plaid Mobile</span>. Now before you all start <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">panicking</span>, we're <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">OK</span>, The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Plaid Mobile</span> is in the shop, and The Prince got his back legs broken. Poor Princy had to be put down, and we had to wait almost an hour for the cops to show up. OK, enough of all the (huh? why? oh, alright!).

So how are we today? Good, bad, or just ok? Well quite frankly, I hope y'all are all at least ok. And now to shift gears, I'll tell you a little about our cats. First, there's Hinky-boo, the Little Princess. She is a grey & white long haired mix who likes to wipe her nose on the bare legs of family members. Hink (as we call her) is Mommy's little girl. Then there's TomTom Tiger, the cat from Mars. He's constantly trying to get Hink to play, and if any of us go into the bathroom, he just has to follow us in there. Well, I think the teacher is about to start up class again, so I'd better go.

Does this mean that I'm an official blogger now? It does? YES! Ok, now we'll have some fun. Hi folks, I'm DiscoDame. Welcome to my blog, I hope you like it here, and I hope you come back often. Give me a few days to get used to blooging, and I might put some pictures up. Well, it's lunchtime, so I guess that's it for now.
