I Will Love You Monday (365)

If you type into YouTube's search engine "songs about Mondays" you will get this one, "Monday Monday" by The Mamas & The Papas, and some other random stuff.  I would think that as much as people hate Mondays there would be more songs about that!  :)
I almost picked The Mamas & The Papas...until I decided to give this song a chance.  And I like it!  I've never heard of Aura Dione.  I have no idea where she hails from but she has a lot of qualitites that remind me of Lily Allen and Lady Gaga.  She has a great voice and she doesn't try to cover it up with too much weird stuff.  She's weird and unique (I checked out some of her other videos, she dresses strange but her voice is great!) 
I'm pretty sure the song is referring to the "you" as a person and not the day Monday BUT since it never clearly specifies I decided to make it all about Monday today!  If you listen to the words it really could become about trying to love the day Monday.  :)  And that's not even that much of a stretch!  
Mondays are funny to me.  Poor Mondays.  They get such a bad rap.  I decided a couple of years back to quit hating on Mondays and embrace them.  After all, Psalm 118:24 says (emphasis mine), "This IS the day the Lord has made, let us REJOICE in it and be glad!"  And I'm pretty sure that scripture includes the hated, dreaded Mondays... :)
I choose to rejoice in Mondays and when I look at it through the eyes of God then they aren't all that bad!  
Happy Monday!

    I enjoyed the video- a little strange, but the shoes cracked me up!

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.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
