The Breath You Take

My hub calls George Strait "Wilbur Crooked".  I'd have to say that in country circles that boarders on blasphemy!  Haha!  Actually he does it just to mess with fans of this amazing artist.

George Strait has earned and deserves every award he has ever received.  Not only is his talent out of this world but many sources have said he is the nicest, most down to earth genuine man you'll ever meet. 

My cousin, Jodi, shot this song my way as a suggestion for this blog.  After hearing it I know why it must be one of Jodi's favorites.  Jodi and her kids are great examples of living for and in the moments that take your breath away rather than just living to breath and get through.  They face challenges head on and have a great support system in place to help them appreciate the moments that life hands you as a gift.  Jodi never complains but always finds a reason to "make lemonade out of those lemons"!  Jodi and her kiddos are great inspiration for living life to its fullest, for making sure that life is lived well.  Here's to you Jodi, Drew and Bekah!

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. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

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.
