Summertime

In honor of the fact that we, here in Colorado, are reaching into the mid-70's this week and people are in the mood for Summertime I picked a song to reflect that!  :)  (Of course this IS Colorado so expect blizzards and freezing temps in April - probably right at Easter, haha!) 
Miles Davis, a jazz musician, with his sweet, smooth notes tells stories through his music.  This particular song tells the story of Summer.  Close your eyes when you listen to it.  Let it take you to the place of Summer.  Summer is slower, smooth in its temps, sweet in its smells.  Now open your eyes and it is back to reality!  :)  But when you are in the mood for Summer you can always count on Miles Davis to take you there.

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.

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.
