| My comfy couch |
I like my couch and I sleep on it nearly as much as I do in my spiffy bed. There was a time, back in Former Happy Days, when I'd fall asleep on the couch after a hard day only to be woken up by The Second Mrs. Pennington who informed me it was time to go to bed... after I'd been asleep for an hour or two. So I'd dutifully get up off the couch and accompany her upstairs where I'd invariably stare at the ceiling for the better part of an hour trying to get back to sleep. There WAS a cure for getting back to sleep in short order but I'd stare at the ceiling more often than not... most times.
These days? We sleep on the couch when we damned well please.

The weather has reached the point where it's warm enough to sit outside in a tee shirt and watch the sun go down without having to bundle up. There's no more hard-edged chill in the air as the sun sets and that's a great good thing. The bad news is my whiskey and cigar consumption tends to increase exponentially as the weather gets warmer. I normally only have one cigar a day during winter; yesterday I burned three, including two as we watched the sun go down, all while sipping three fingers o' Scotch... repeated a couple o' few times. The Scotch is prolly why it was so very easy to fall asleep on the couch, now that I think about it.

I'll prolly have to make my blog rounds twice today, what with having completed the first round already and noticing most of my reads haven't posted anythang new yet today. Which is a First-World problem now, innit? That said, having a do-over on the blog reading beats the HELL outta going to work.
The B's are doing amazing things. Get your Wings to take the next one and we'll be talking!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I absolutely insisted upon, the last time we went couch shopping, was that it be big enough for me to stretch out completely without head or feet touching the arms. I gave MY WIFE final veto on color, material, and just about anything else, but I wanted a sofa I could comfortably fall asleep on while watching college football :-)
I did the exact same thing with our last couch - had to be long enough to hold my whole me, all stretched out. Otherwise, whatever.
DeleteGet your Wings to take the next one and we'll be talking!
DeleteI'll be happy if they take this one... I don't even wanna think about what might be next.
I've always been a little weird on going to sleep at the same time. Toby falls asleep when his head hits the pillow - not me. But if I do go to sleep before him, I HATE it when he comes to bed and wakes me up. So, I try to go to bed when he does. I get up when he does too. Maybe some people like that alone time, but not me. I like the being together thang.
ReplyDeleteWe got lots of rain out of the big storms and lots of cloud cover yesterday. It was great, although those folks in Granbury probably do not think the storms were so great.
I liked the "being together" thing, too. I miss that on cold nights. ;-)
DeleteRe: "having a do-over on the blog reading beats the HELL outta going to work"
ReplyDeleteIt does, oh yes it does!
Heh. We know.
DeleteWeather was a little iffy yesterday
ReplyDeleteI only saw a drop or two
But to the north there was enough to knock the weather service sideways
To the south it sounded like a battle, with thunder and lightning for about two and a half hours
There was some localized flooding, too
I'm not gonna talk about the Shark or the Warriors because those indoor sports seasons should been over by now
Your Sharks might play into June, if'n yer lucky. But it sure doesn't LOOK like it at the moment.
DeleteMy wife (obviously not the capital gal that Suldog's is) does the falling asleep on the couch bit more than I. She works harder and likes TV a little more than I do. I stopped waking her up and bringing her to bed exactly because it was a sure fire way to ensure that she wouldn't fall back asleep for a long time. And that ain't cool.
ReplyDeleteI tried to make that point with TSMP, to no avail.
DeleteGS and I have matching recliners.
ReplyDeleteI will nap during the news, particularly the local stuff.
She stopped trying to even pretend to stay up past 9pm a long time ago.
Now there's a TV in each bedroom anyway.
I had a teevee in my bedroom but I couldn't get the damned thing to work with the satellite.
DeleteOur couch was so dangerous the whole extended family called it the Coma Couch. To sit was to sleep.
ReplyDeleteHeh. I like the "Coma Couch" thing.
DeleteSofa situation is the same here; it must be long enough for The Oracle to stretch out on. The one in the living room is more than roomy enough but the one in our media room...well this thing is a sectional and either side is long enough for him; one side is nearly long enough for us both. Comfort - it's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :-)
ReplyDeleteAgreed, completely, on the comfort thing.
