Name Yourself Day
If you could name, or rename, yourself what name would you choose and why?
What's in a name?
My hub and I believe in the power of names, or rather their meanings.  We were very purposeful in choosing our children's names, wanting their names to speak life and character quality into their lives. Interestingly enough, both of our children have the qualities and virtues associated with their name meanings.  It's a really beautiful thing to witness.

And because it always seems to come back around to Friends for me, here's a clip of when Phoebe decided to rename herself. Gotta be careful what you choose!

Cherish An Antique Day
You can appreciate antiques, but try to refrain from hoarding them. :)

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.
