Morons!

So, we’re grilling up our burgers with our toasted sesame buns and home-made sauce and I had just told them to get regular plates because the burgers were so big they wouldn’t fit on a paper plate. So, of course, they weren’t listening and exclaimed, “these paper plates won’t work!   I yelled, “Duh”!  They yelled “we’re morons”.  I yelled, "Yep!  But, we’re more offs…than more ons!" PIMP LOL.  Have a fun moronic day. I can’t eat much of this, but it’s good to serve. Think of what you can do instead of what you can't.  Now, me?  I CAN do moronic!!!  Okay.  Off to eat and back to video editing and singing for the next song.  Trace

"Home-made 66666666 Lasagna! Tame The Beast! You CAN Raise The Roof At Home!

So, I am still working on our new song's home-made vid. Had lots of ideas cookin' in my head for it.  Some of my other "home-mades" that I'm cookin' up this weekend?  Umm... PB cookies, Chili, BBQ Sauce and my "66666666" Lasagna!  It's called that cuz it's made from 6 lbs. of meat, 6 lbs. cheese, 6 onions, 6 garlic cloves, 6 tomatoes, is 6 layers, 6 rows and takes just 6 seconds after eating it to tame the beast outta anyone.  Cook up some "home-mades" today.  Doesn't have to be just food.  Be creative with your vids, games or fun times!  Home-made raises my roof! PIMP LOL.  Now, if I could just make something home-made that cures my stuffy dizzy head and ears. No complaints.  Still raising the roof!  Yep!  That can still be done at home!  Who woulda thought!  Have a fund day.  Raise some roof.   Tame your beast.     Trace

The Bearded Lady Sets Her Clock Forward! Now, That's Just Backward!

So, today's story is called: "The Bearded Lady Sets Her Clock Forward! Now, That's Just Backward!"   What?  That's just messed up!  Okay, so we were finishing up shooting video clips for our new song  and I was having a li'l trouble liking my shots.  And. today happens to be the day we set our clocks forward, also.  I was joking about setting my "looks" clock backwards.   Moving time back.  You know? At least an hour or two. What?!  How 'bout a decade or two!  I always say I'm not very photo"Glenn"ic.  In case, you don't know?  Glenn is my last name.  So, anyways, I was using my art program and thought I would do some bearding and hair to see how I looked for fun.  Yes, I am tired!  And, you know my mind?  Always on a li'l off.  I just had to see what all the hoopla was about beards and mustaches! Yep!  I see! Beards def shave years off of me!  Course, my beard has miniature roses braided in it.  Just sayin'. PIMP LOL.  Have a rosey evening and, yes!  Things are getting hairy with this video editing.  But, I know that every bit of work makes us a hair closer.  What? I needed a diversion while rendering it.  I think I've been rendered, too.  Rendered hairy.  It's OK.  It's only tempory.  And, if it's not?  I can get a job as the bearded lady at a circus.  I'm already experienced in clowning around, juggling, tight ropes and being caged up!  And, some other things I won't mention.  Well, except that I had never been to a circus until I was 21.  It was very different than what I expected.  For one thing?  We were right up front and ended up having to move when the elephants came on.  They apparantly had eaten something bad and let's just say that they were spraying us!  Yep!  With poop.  Other than that?  It was fun!  Even that was hilarious.  So, life can be crappy.  Life can be a 3-ring circus!  And, life can be hairy!  In any case?  Have fun with it.  Find the best place to sit.  Find the right "Trainer"!  Oh!  And, if you're not happy with way you look?  Grow a beard!  Or shave!  Or?  Laugh more?  Then, you won't think about your looks.  Let people see your inward spirit.  Your countenance.  That's what counts anyways.  Not the years.   And, remember? If you're life is a 3-ring circus and you just can't juggle it all anymore?   Don't get tic'd!  Toc to God.  He won't clean your clock like others might.      Trace

Crock Of Glue Music

What did I do today?  I redid our family room to stage a video. Lots of cleaning up and getting rid of stuff.  Came across a few spiders.  Then, finished mixing a new song of ours called "Nothin’ But Ashes".  Leanin' towards a 60's sound mix. We mixed about 10 different ways.  It's gonna be a "crock of glue" song.  One that sticks with anyone. Why do I call it that?  Umm...it's a li'l country and rock. Hence, crock.  And, it's a li'l gospel and blues. Hence, glue. We love Crock Of Glue music.  That's us.  A li'l bit of everything. Kind of like the great music from the 60's.  Anyways, I just have the vid clips left to edit and piece and nudge together.  Lots of work for the weekend.  But, for now?  Enjoying the rain, glued to my seat, eatin' a crock of popcorn!  Can't wait for a good night's sleep and then get our new song done.  It will be on our new CD along with 5 new ones.  Have a crock of fun this weekend.  Stay glued to your seat.  PIMP LOL. Our new one is coming soon.   Oh!  Not as much humor, but lots of hope.  I took our old room and moved things around made something new out of it.  Didn't buy anything, just cleaned up what we had and did a li'l creative decorating.  I hope I can do that with my vid clips.  PIMP LOL.    Trace

Castling! Quit Dragon Your Butt And Let Your Hair Down!

Was thinking of castles today. You’ve heard of Medieval Times and castles, right? Well, my home is my castle and it’s standing right smack in the middle of “Medicalevil” Times. What? You know? Medical stuff. Eeee-vil stuff! Hate that stuff. PIMP LOL. But! Me, and my castle, still stand, in spite of, and because of medical and evil times! How? With the use of much humor, joy and music!  They give wind to the flag that flies above the castle of my heart where the King resides. There is more than a remoat chance you may see Him if you gain entrance to the drawbridge of my heart.  Which He guards. He “keeps” me. In the battles and the dungeons, as well as the celebrations.  With Him, I cannon do all things! He is my defender.  My strong tower. From which I can let my hair down.  And, you can climb up!  Joy and faith (which is letting your hair down and trusting God) help others climb!  Climb on!  Have a fun day! I gotta go.  I am fixing to clean my castle!  There’s a remoat chance I may be “dragon” my butt around, so if you come calling and the drawbridge is up, come ‘round back to the tower to help.  I’ll let my hair down! IN more ways than one.  To fave fun and relax and trust in God.  And, to let you climb up!  Have a fun day.  Let you hair down.  Help others.  Have fun with it.  And, be “dragon” your butt over to my other stories here. Oh! And, what prompted my story this morning was a memory. We constructed a very cool castle with my daughter for her 7th grade project. Drawbridge, moat, chains, towers, bricks, ivy over the walls, pigs and all. We researched and had a blast building it from only household items. The teacher asked to keep it to use as an example to show classes every year of what can be done if parents and kids work together. Our family flag flew high when she said that! Our home might not be a real castle!  But, our hearts live in one. For which we are thankful.  I appreciate you guys stopping by my place.  You lift me up and you slay me.  In a good way!  PIMP LOL.  Hope I slay you!   In a good way.   Now, go slay your “dragon” butt and get up and have a blast! With God, you "cannon" do anything.  Also!  The photo collage?  My fave photos of medieval and other castles and even ruins and castle interior. Oh!  And, writing this reminded me that we hadn’t played chess in a long time.  Getting our chest game out as I post this blog.  Get your chess game on!  Let's do some castling!     Trace

“Articulate or “Heart”iculate! Just Sayin...'bout Just Prayin'!

Got to thinkin’ ‘bout prayin’ this morning. I was thinkin’ ‘bout God being our Heavenly Father and us His children and all. Then, I thought about being a parent. A mother or father. And, about how we would want our kids to approach us to talk, or ask for something, or beg for help or forgiveness, or even to tell us thanks. I would want it to be one on one because that means the most, simple and honest and not a lot of showy big words for someone else to hear and fake and not whole-heartedly. Words that take the emphasis off of what we are talkin’ bout and put it on them.  And, our babies don’t have to do anything or say anything to make us love them.  Just like we don’t have to say anything or do anything for Him to love us. Fathers, mothers and our Heavenly Father…they all love their children. No matter what! Forgiveness is a given. Freely given.  Same with love.  And, protection.  Teaching, too.  I chose this photo of a friend of ours, Dave, and his grandson.  He has his strong arm around him and his lips against his head which made me think immediately of how our heavenly Father loves us. He is our strength, our protection and still gentle kisses of guidance and love.  There to teach us and hold us in His arms until we’ve learned to walk. Dave didn’t have to say anything to his grandson, though he said a whole lot by holding him with his strong arm and kissing his head.  Sometimes, that is how God is with us.  He says more by being quiet.  So, do we sometimes.  Course, I love talking and communicating, too, but there is a time for talkin’ and a time for walkin’… Well, just my thoughts.  Just sayin…  Just prayin’!  Have a fun day.  Be yourself when talkin’ to your kids or grandkids, your father and mother, AND to your Heavenly Father! And you know what?  Some prayers are even sung or even cried. Prayin’ ain’t about being articulate!  It’s about being “heart”iculate!  Pray with heart.  Just sayin’ ‘bout just prayin’!  Oh!  And, the saying in the photoart? Well, family (whether it's spiritual or blood), definitely is our link to the past and a bridge to our future in more ways than one.  Yes, our heritage and blood line and all is a link.  And, yes His blood gave us the most important link of all.  So, we can talk from our heart.  Build relationships.  Build bridges that nothing else could reach and nothing can burn down.  Talkin' and prayin' links us with each other and God. You know what I'm talkin' 'bout!  This may not be articulate today, but it's "heart"iculate!         From my heart,  Trace

Be Up Front When You Get Behind Someone!

Talkin’ should be honest and up front. Face it! I may get behind you to push you and encourage, but not to kiss your butt or talk behind your back and discourage. I may get beside you to walk with you, so’s you don’t get besides yourself in loneliness. I may even get in front of you to lead the way with boldness, but I won’t get in your face. And, I may carry you, so you don’t get carried away with grief. Yep! I just may love you. That’s what God does for us and we should so do for others. We are the body.  Have a lovely day, all.  Stop by my other b'log today about clogging and many more.  Thanks for yoru comments and time.  Appreciate it...much!    Trace

Plunger Girl! Cloggin' and Uncloggin'!

My jobs list for yesterday?  Unclog 1 AC, 1 laptop, 1 desktop, 1 toilet, 1 head, 1 heart and 2 ears. Getting ready to take the plunge now! I started with the heart first cuz I gotta find the humor and hope in the “how in the world can all this happen in one day”. Being thankful in the plunges and in the clogs! When I got to the laptop and got an Error 19, I knew that meant it would take 19 steps to fix. And, would probably include the registry.  So, I moved the laptop fix to the bottom of my Clog Registry and saved that for today. Take the plunge and have a fun day, in spite of & because of.  I got my plunger in hand.  I'm off to save the day!  Plunger Girl!  When she’s not uncloggin', you’ll find her cloggin'.  Maybe even, singin'! And when she's not cloggin' or uncloggin'? She be bloggin'. PIMP LOL.  She may be plungin' it, but her mind is grungin' it at the beach.  Takes each day one clog at a time.  Take the plunge!  What a way to unclog.  The sun & the Son. Soak it in!   Trace
