Day 364: Cereal

It's a mystery to me how I can go from something deep like hard grace to something so ridiculous like cereal but yet I can do it and I do.  So today I am grateful for cereal.  The fam and I have a slight addiction to cereal.  We really, really like it.  It makes a great meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner - or a great snack. I confess I am grateful for it because it can be a meal and that means I don't have to cook when I lack the energy or motivation.  But I also am grateful for the wide variety. It's rare for me to not find a cereal I want to eat.  Yep, cereal.  Clearly the 365 was hard for me today but why should that change on even day 364?  :)

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.
