Day 357: My Natural Curly Hair

(For Monday August 18)

I am grateful for my natural curly hair.  It's been a lot of years of trial and error to get me to a place where I can say I really like my curls and I'm grateful for them because they are a part of me.  Oh, don't be mistaken about the natural curly hair.  It's not just hair, it's something that has helped to define me, it's something that identifies me to others.  My curls can be sassy, sweet, more wavy than curly, frizzy (that's the trial and error part), and non-existent when my hair is too short.  About 8 months ago I missed the sassy curls so I started growing my hair out longer so they would reappear.  And they have!  And I love them.  And I do feel grateful that I have them, that God gifted me with such a fun external thing!

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.

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.
