Sit Down

I am a chair girl, not a sofa girl.

Couches are good for napping or company. But sinking down into a row of cushions is just too indulgent for anything but rest. I prefer not to watch t.v. from the sofa. Or read. And certainly not work. How can anyone get anything done if their feet aren't even on the floor? 

The only piece of furniture I own from my childhood home is a wooden stiff-backed desk chair that was in my bedroom. I sat in it to do my homework all the way from elementary school until my high school graduation. It was God awful. But it kept me focused on the task at hand. Very Puritan in flavor, but successful nonetheless.
