You Say Potato

I've always resisted having couches that were too comfortable. When the phrase couch potato was introduced, my resolve only strengthened. Who wants to be known--even by one's self, especially by one's self--as the chick who doesn't have the gumption to haul her sorry hmmm-hmmm off the sofa? Not I.

The way I look at it, if the rest of my time on earth is getting one day shorter every twenty-four hours, I've got stuff to do. Stuff that can't happen in a supine position.

Don't get me wrong: I can be as laid-back as the next woman, maybe moreso than many. But it's controlled laid-backedness. It's laid-back with a purpose. Maybe my brand of personal relaxation is so planned that it's something I need to speak to a qualified therapist about, I don't know.

All I know is, this isn't going to happen to me. Please believe me when I say I'm not even laughing.

Fallible Comments...
  1. Before Julianna moved to the cardiac clinic, she work on the med/surg floor... Believe me when I say that this sort of thing was a common occurrence.

    By the way, is the term "hmmm-hmmm" applicable to people who are morbidly overweight?

  2. Tim--I in no way intended to denigrate the morbidly overweight with the term "sorry hmmm-hmmm." I was speaking about my own derriere (which has experienced its own episode of being morbidly overweight), and merely attempting to avoid the word "ass."

    I meant for this post not to be about overweight as much as about my lifelong tendency toward couch avoidance. When I read the news story, besides feeling the horror of the woman's situation, I thought, "If I never lie down, they'll never have to extract me." Weird thought, I know, but still.

  3. Oh, no, Katy! I didn't mean to add...too much weight to the conversation... Ahem.

    I was more just kind of wondering if "hmmm hmmm" stops at some point... Like, at what weight might it become "ho ho," or, "ha ha," or even..."uh oh"?

    :)

  4. If I'm completely honest, I guess hmmm-hmmm does have its limits. Hmmm-hmmm is a bit of a term of endearment, actually, and when mine gets away from me, quantity-wise, it ceases to be endearing to both me and the world at large. Oh, dear...

    Is there any end to puns on buns?
