Sleeping In

This song pulls and pulls at me every time I hear it.  It's one of those songs that makes me think, "Beth just be honest with yourself and with others."  Raw honesty is sometimes the best way to go, especially when you catch people looking at you in weird ways because they wonder what is up with your strange behaviors.  :) 

People who know me well know when I'm not behaving like myself.  So.  If you have been wondering what in the world is wrong with me :) then today's song may give you a few hints.  I've been "sleeping in", trying to escape hard stuff, painful stuff, weary stuff.  And while I've been sleeping I've been asking God what needs to happen to wake up.  He's been good to show me the ways but it's been a process.  I'm still pretty sleepy but God has been telling me it's time to start waking up.  Because we ALL have to wake up eventually!  :) 

So now you know.  If I haven't been very visible in your world or very vocal in your world and that isn't my norm with you now you know why.  I've been buried under the covers sleeping.  But I've poked my head out and I'm contemplating throwing back the covers.  :)

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.
