#SummerSundays



"Who cares if it's raining or cold. Wear your flip flops and have some fun!" (unknown)

Sometimes you just have to defy the reality of the moment and make your own. For example, is it snowing or sleeting or cold raining wherever you are at today? Well who cares! Bring some summer into your day. Maybe you have access to an indoor pool, or a sauna - go make some summer for yourself and your family. Or maybe you can just make summer in your home - lay out beach towels, have everyone change into swimsuits and flip flops and have some icy treats. Maybe watch a movie that features summer weather. What about getting a pedi and using a bright summer color on your toes to be a reminder that summer is right there with you - as long as you keep it near. The whole point is that seasons come and go but it's our choice to keep them with us no matter what.

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.
