Day 50: Music

I love music.  It in unfathomable to me those who aren't moved by any kind of music.  I'm a big lyrics girl and I'm partial to piano and guitar instrumental artists and albums.  I was thinking this morning how much a part of my life music is and has been. Not only is my family musical but I married a musician and have a songbird for a daughter.  I am moved by lyrics and heart.  Not a day goes by that a song doesn't describe my day or my thoughts or my emotions perfectly.  I am so grateful for music that I spent my very first 365 featuring a song a day!  I am most grateful for music on the days when I can't seem to find the words myself but a song comes along that puts it into words for me.

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.
