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.  :)

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.
