You and Me

This is one of those songs that gets stuck in your head but you don't really mind.  :)  Or I don't mind at least!  I feel like this is a cover but I can't find who originally sang it so maybe it isn't a cover and I just know it?  It's a song to me that sounds like a cover.  That's not a slam on Lifehouse at all.  It just seems that this song has been sung before and Lifehouse was doing it justice by covering it.  Yet all other "You and Me" songs that I pulled up on YouTube weren't this song but others.  Regardless. 
I'm currently planning/coordinating a wedding and putting together a playlist for the reception.  I'm pretty sure this song is going to end up on it.  :)
I really, really like this song.  The sound, the words, the music.  I like Lifehouse.  They come out of LA and in the past few years finally hit mainstream radio.  But they've been around the block a time or two in their 10+ years of being a band.  In fact I like them so much you'll probably see another song or two of theirs hit the 365 experiment before the 365 wraps up.  :) 

You and Me

The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education.  Why shoes? 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.
