The Moment

I have a special love for Kenny G.  :) I don't know what it is about his music but I LOVE it!  And when I'm not feeling very inspired or when I don't feel like listening to words I pop him in because his music inspires and stirs me. 

This song I really really love. In fact I had my bridesmaids walk down the aisle at our wedding to this song.  I love it that much!  I think what I love with Kenny G and other musicians like him (I love Jim Brickman also) is their music inspires you to write your own words, to write your own story with their music as the soundtrack.  So this particular song of his makes me think of the time surrounding my wedding; the planning, the visual I get of my bridesmaids walking down the aisle to it, and really just the whole day.  It was Lanny and I's moment, when we began OUR story and others joined us in witnessing it and agreeing to it!  :)

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. 

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.

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.
