Day 29: Colorado

Seriously. I am seriously grateful for this beautiful state in which I get to live.  Oh sure, I sometimes complain about the weather but then I see this...

and I remember that other places in "Colorful Colorado" look like this...

and then I forget all about my weather complaints and I sigh a breath of gratitude for this amazingly beautiful state that I live in.
Just like people who love the ocean never tire of looking at the ocean and being by it, so I never tire of being by the mountains, specifically Pikes Peak, and looking at them.  No matter what kind of day I am having the view of Pikes Peak settles me.  
I am grateful for the beauty of Colorado, I can't imagine not living here.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
