I'll be there for you

Yesterday I posted a whole bunch of pics from mostly High School and it has been so fun to get everyone's response to them! We've been having a good time "talking" about our school days. And since then I have been humming this song. It just seems kind of fitting. Now I could have picked Michael W Smith's "Friends" but this song seems to fit us much better as we are beginning to stare down our 20th reunion! :)

In addition to my classmates reminding me of this song I have a confession to make. I like Friends. A LOT! I know, I know. Horrible, so horrible but I can't help it I love that show! I've had a lot of people question my faith because of my love for the show. And I just need to say "REALLY?" Anyone who knows me well knows that I am mature enough in faith and life to not watch the show and think that sleeping around with a bunch of people is okay, etc. I mean c'mon. And if you see that the way I behave in life seems like a Friends episode then by all means pull me aside and say something but if not then cut me some slack and trust that I have enough maturity to watch the show and just get a laugh out of it! And just for that I have also included one of my fave clips from Friends, The Apartment Game. SO FUNNY!!

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education. Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement. However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term. We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well. I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

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.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here . Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
