Think of Me

I know, I know.  It's Friday.  But can you all pretend with me it is Saturday?  See, I won't be around a computer this weekend until Sunday night and I wanted to make sure I kept true to a song a day, I figured two for today would cover me for tomorrow!  :) 

Part of the reason I won't be around this weekend is because my youngest redheaded wonder is auditioning for America's Got Talent in Denver!  She's got this amazing gift, her voice.  She sings beautifully and I'm not just being one of "those" parents, we've been told that by more people than I can count.  She is very gifted musically. 

When she was about 4-5 years old she discovered The Phantom of the Opera and has been, and I don't use this word lightly, OBSESSED with it ever since.  You have no idea.  It can become painful, this obsession she has.  One day when I wasn't paying much attention she watched the movie 4 times in a row!!  I was Phantomed out by the end of the day.  She is constantly singing the songs from the show and pretending she is Christine.  This weekend she is going to be singing "Think of Me" from The Phantom of the Opera.  The clip I've included today is Sarah Brightman, the original Christine, singing it.  Eliana LOVES Sarah Brightman so in her honor I thought it would be fitting to showcase this one!

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.
