The Words I Would Say

I CANNOT believe I haven't done this song yet especially because my amazing friend, and one of my besties, Stephanie dedicated it to me a while back. What was I thinking not putting it on here until now?!? Sheesh. Thanks dear friend for two things:
1) Dedicating it to me in the first place because you heard my heart and you know me. I'm so grateful for you.
2) Reminding me to listen to it again and put it on the experiment!! :)
So this song is well, simply put, the BEST! Stephanie claims to sing it a lot and I remember now why after listening to it again. What a great song of encouragement and affirmation to give to the people in your life. What a great song to sing to yourself, reminding yourself of God's belief in you. See, God believes in us. Ephesians 2:10, among other verses, back this up.
Sidewalk Prophets have a great sound. Very easy to listen to and they put out a great message. On the particular radio station I listen to (which is a Christian one - WAYFM for those of you now curious) I haven't heard much, if any, of their music but I think I'll be sending an email and inquiring as to why they don't play Sidewalk Prophets!
Have you heard a friend or spouses hurt lately? What would you say to them?

The Words I Would Say

P.S. Stephanie...back at you! These are the words I also would say to you dear one! ;)

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.
