You Better Sit Down

   In my house, in every room, there are couches or multiple soft chairs to sit in. In my young, 64 years, I have needed to sit down!! ( or fall out in the prone position)
   Humans need places to, sit a spell, shell peas ( never again), visit and more important read and be quiet.
   One of my DIL asked me once, "Why do you have a chair in the bathroom?"
    Which I find to be an odd question. I replied, " One day you will know. You will need to find a space, even if its in the bathroom! to think, vomit, or read movie magazines."
    You may think, where are you going Bon-Bon?
    Well we are getting new furniture for my birthday, so I have to shift all other rooms. One big couch, that I like to call the animal couch and my winter nap couch, went to Goodwill. It needed to go, but the dog and I are not happy. ( Husband said I get too attached to stuff!) ( hogwash)
     Ward's room got a little love seat, put in it, to make his room feel more complete. Visitors will be happy and I think Ward will be happy, since he slept on the couch in his room for most of his life.
( he even painted a picture of his couch, that hangs on his wall, to this day)
     I have a couch in our bedroom, that has been the cat, Lainey's, lair for years. Her safe hiding spot, from the world. It is 27 years old, and it needs to go, but .......
     The couch going to our bedroom is new-er-er and will work well in there, and is making room for the new den furniture, but......Lainey can not get under it. ( Hubs says, "SHE has places all over upstairs to hid, if needed) ( Well, we could get that couch recovered, so she could just have an updated pad!) ( Bill keeps talking....well were would the green couch go??) and I replied out of parenthesis...into the computer room for the dog and I to nap on!!
     I have written many blogs about my loving my stuff, worn, torn, used UP and loved. New things take some getting use to, probably why I like antiques so much.
     I just need comfort and cuteness, and never for someone to tell me, You Better Sit Down!!
    People, never lead with that phrase, it just prolongs the news. Usually bad news. Fix me a cup of coffee, small talk a little, and then BAM, give me the news. I will find a place to fall, I have furniture all over the place!!! ( and many altars to pray!! I am well equipped for my knees hitting the floor, and hollering for Jesus)
        Now to close out July, can you even believe it? Summer has felt heavy to me, with all the rain, but like I have mentioned, my yard has been happy.
       Some dots to connect. I still am reading Ernest Hemingway bio. Slow reading, but I just love reading about flawed characters. People fascinate me, all people, but writers especially. I guess I should say artists. I have eight books on the Kindle, waiting, so I will get back to you.
      Things I have learned from watching cartoons with Wyatt are, Danial Tiger can not replace Mr. Rogers, but he is OK??!! At least the music is the same, and he said something this week that I wrote down. Comparing someones fatigue to "Margaret Tired!" I guess maybe its his baby sister, I half watch things, but I just liked it, I am going to use it forever, "Margaret Tired!" I love it, she may need a couch!
 Also on Sesame Street, someone said, 'Count down to Calm down" another pearl of wisdom from my Muppet friends, I love Sesame Street.
  Last but not least, Dr. B and I watch many foreign films, and think nothing of closed captions being on. ( drives our kids crazy) ( which I like) As we have aged we leave them on more often, my guess is our hearing may be headed out the door. Who cares, we have captions on!!
   While I was getting dressed  one morning, I clicked onto a show about James Brown, his life.
   Well the captions were on and it was like Home Karaoke, I could sing every song, and got my James Brown ON!! I had the moves, the hacking voice, and the words in front of me, it was the only way to ever "get on up" in the wee hours of each day.( no one can do him better than my brother Benjie, but I was close brother man) I decided at that moment the captions will never go off again, just think what you may miss out on!! Never, I am leaving them on.
    You had better sit down, I will be 65 in a few days, and I can leave them on!
     Its Saturday and beautiful, and crazy wonderful. You can take it to the bank, you can always find a soft place to sit at my house or fall out!! Call it whatever you need to.
     Peace, Love and may you always find a safe place to Land.
NOTE*** Above pictures are not of my furniture, but I would like to add them to the lot!!!!
