Day 327: Heart to Heart

(For Saturday July 19)

Early this morning I met one of my besties for coffee. It was a big deal because this particular bestie lives approximately 7800 miles away from me. As you can imagine face time is rare. :) She lives in Abu Dhabi and I live in Colorado.  Heart to hearts are hard to have - even with Skype.  And when you have that kind of physical distance between two connected hearts relationship is hard. So this morning we squeezed each other, held hands, looked in each other's eyes, heard each other's voices with no delays, and remembered why God chose to connect our hearts. I am so grateful for the heart to heart with her today and the ones God allows in my life at other times with other people.  They always serve to remind me of our mutual love and affection for one another, of our common ground, of our soul desires that match up, etc.

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.
