#ManicMonday


Sometimes I feel like I have to piece together my Monday. Like I have several to-do lists that I need to somehow merge together to make one, picking one item off of each list to create a new one.


    


  

          

 

Can anyone else relate? I don't know why Monday seems to have the longest and perhaps most tedious to-do list but it does. So if today your monday is feeling like it needs to be pieced together step one is this: breathe. deep, deep breaths. Then gather your list(s) and make a new one of only the musts. Don't let this monday make you manic - make it listen to you instead.

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.
