My last two title entries were "eye to eye" and "toe to toe" and there are many more "heart to heart" "head to head". Where do these types of sayings come from? Anyone know? Just curious.
I'm playing "hookie" from work today? What does "hookie" mean anyway? If anyone knows these answers to these questions, please help me out here - I'm bored.

hey glo, don't know what those things mean. Hey when is the "Henry" blog coming out. I'm not one to ask since I haven't even done an entry blog, for a loooong time. Ha Ha. I just like reading them more than writing.
Enjoy your "Hookie" time,
Henry blog is already 3 pages long. There is so much to cover. I'm thinking about taking it in a different direction. In other words, I'm stuck. It may come in two parts - I'm just not sure.
I couldn't resist doing a Google search of hookie.
"Hookey" (also spelled "hooky") apparently developed from the colloquial phrase "hooky-crooky" common in the early 19th century, which meant "dishonest or underhanded." The connection between the two phrases becomes clearer when we recall that to "play hookey" properly, one had to pretend to go to school. The child would head out the door at the proper time, schoolbooks in hand, and only when safely out of sight of home would the little nipper's true itinerary become evident.
I am looking forward to reading the "Henry" blog!!!
shooo u a busted up mess
