Garfield
This is Garfield.
My recliner.
He is beautiful. I’ve fallen asleep with my legs strung over the side and my head cushioned against the back many times!
It’s like sleeping on a cloud.
Is there anywhere you find yourself falling asleep, that is not your bed?
Take a picture! Post in on your blog and link it back here!

You named your recliner after my favorite Garfield cartoon character by Jim Davis! Nice! Thanks for the follow Miss Lou and I am enjoying your blog! 🙂

I have a recliner, one that has a remote control. I love my recliner — yep, I’ve fallen asleep in it many times. The back lies all the way back. Earlier this year, when my asthma was really bad, I slept in it every night for about three weeks. So comfortable. A blankie and a pillow…ahhh, bliss.
A recliner with a remote? That is certainly a step up from my ‘Garfield’
I too sleep in mine often. A recall a few months back when the entire family was down with the flu, and I found it much easier to breathe and sleep comfortably slightly elevated. Garfield became my Haven for about a week.

And there is Garfield. I hope you got your nap after we chatted. I was very amused to drop by and find Garfield featured. Cheers, Brenda
I did for about an hour and a bit!.. lol #YayBananas,, I might be sleeping on Garfield tonight. Since the children have diagonally taken over my bed again! lol
How old are they?
8 and 10. Their bed time is between 7:30 and 8pm on a school night, and usually around 8:30 – 9sih ‘ish on a Friday/Saturday, a little earlier if we have soccer on the next morning.
Ah, I have two boys those ages, and a little girl of 5. Such wonderful ages.
I am so glad I baited you with a Vulcan, so that I would come here and find this delightful little world you’ve created. I’m going to be back!
And a recliner named Garfield tickles me all to bits!
I used to be a car sleeper, but, since I’m usually the driver these days, and two of my three favorite humans are almost always in the car with me, and I’m the adult…well, I’ll let them sleep, and concentrate my energy on getting us there alive…
Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by! Garfield rocks!
Sleeping in the car either driving or not is not fun! One is downright dangerous.
Happy to hear that is no longer of concern?

Nope, not a concern. But sometimes, in the midst of a long trip, I really wish I weren’t the one driving (and marrying a chef precludes him sharing in the weekend outings).
And I agree! Garfield rocks!
🙂 All very valid points..
I really love long trips, though like you also wouldn’t mind a break every now and again.. lol
I will join the fall asleep on space bar group. But if I had a Garfield, I wouldn’t have to collapse on the keyboard because I would never make it to the computer, nor to the ironing, laundry, washing line, stove……..Garfield would take over my life.
lol LOL I have no idea how I missed this comment Gallivanta – sorry for the delay in response.
I blame Garfield!
Is Murphy taking a rest? 😀
I dunno *sighs* between Murphy and Garfield, I feel like they have me beat!.. lol
Garfield is easier to take though!
He is definitely looks comfy!
And he IS!!.. lol
I’m struggling to know why he’s called ‘Garfield’?! He’s not yellow or stripy…does he consume lasagne?
He’s fat and kind of puffy, and likes to sleep alot.
The other three recliners are named: Aurora, Rip Van Winkle and Sleepy.
Also my Iron is called Kenny Rogers. I might introduce him in my next post.
You are such a wag Miss Lou! 😀
Weird Australian Girl?
From one to another!
#LoveIt TeeHee
Your recliner would make good company with Sally (I didn’t actually name it but for this response it works) I get back home late every night and crash out.. End up within her arms..
lol! Sally sounds like she is a cosy place of comfort like my Garfield!
Unfortunately Ol Sally will not follow me on my new adventure in my tiny house… She will find a home somewhere else… My little house will be 200 sq feet max…
Wow! #MinimilastLiving
Yes.. I’m in the process of selling the stuff I had to have.. The teapot with a chicken on top… Blue glass and other useless stuff.. I am going minimal.
🙂
Very nice.
*nods* 🙂
Sleep well! Zzzz
Oh I did, I think.. for 3 hours.. lol
Thank you Vee xox
You’re welcome. You don’t sleep much do you?
I haven’t recently, as I have been quite busy, but football season has just finished – (I coordinated the Junior Thunder Power team and it took up alot of my time) so hopefully things will get a little more sensible for me when it comes to getting the right amount of sleep.
I hope so. Children keep you busy all the time.
Yes! They sure do! #AintThatTheTruth
I’m glad my are grown! They still always flock to mom.
Yes, as they do 🙂 I hope mine flock back when they need an ear!
They will. 🙂
🙂
You have a good evening. I’m going to bed, got to get up early. See you soon.
Night Night Ms Vera *huggles*
♥
Good night.
Awesome I thought I was the only one who named their recliner. Mine is called Old Reliable. 😉
‘Old Reliable’ – has a nice ring to it. We each have one here in my house. Mine is Garfield, then there is Aurora, Sleepy and Rip Van Winkle… lol
My iron is called Kenny Rogers (the 5th) His predecessors broke) lol

Lol, I love it.
🙂
I have the same story as davidprosser… around 2:30pm I often slump. head down at my desk. I may not have sent any aberrant emails, but I have had to towel drool off the odd paper document.
Garfield looks absolutely inviting! I want one
LOL @ your head on desk antics! Seems there are few who’s 2nd place of slumber is forehead to space bar.. lol
Garfield is very inviting! I find it hard to stay away from him when I am at home #Irresistible
Garfield looks inviting! And what a cosy space you’ve got 🙂
He is lovely, and thank you for your kind words!
Miss Lou

You’re welcome 😉 I love the warm color scheme and lighting!
🙂 #YayBananas I do try to make make the spaces within my home inviting and comfortable, so it is lovely when I receive compliments on the results of my efforts!
Thank you again!
I am a sucker for nicely done up spaces, color coordination, lighting, tastefulness, organization and all! 😉 so I noticed your pics right away when I read this post.
Awww thanks hon!!

Does Garfield like to eat lasagna and hate Mondays? 😉
I eat enough Lasagna for Garfield and I, which is why I have to walk 3 km’s everyday.
I asked Garfield if he hates Mondays. He hasn’t responded yet.
It’s just possible, according to rumour that is, I may possibly just go to sleep in my office chair leaning over the keyboard. I refuse to confirm the rumour that an Australian friend sent me a message saying ” Uh What??????” After receiving a message from me that consisted of a few words interspersed with a lot of X’s and Z’s.
Personally I think this new fangled Interweb thingy is responsible for bad editing.

LOLOLOL David!! Is that keyboard imprints I can see on your forehead?! eh? Ehhhh?
I wont tell if you don’t lol
(I think I might have done that once or twice myself, though do try and avoid it, and no one likes walking around for 2 days with an imprint of the SPACE bar right across their forehead!)
Miss Lou

Cozy 😉
Very! :d
Course now I went from productive at work to wanting to go home and chillax, it’s all your fault 😛
LOL #Ooops 😛
P.s: Why are you fishing around in blogs while at work eh?
I’m loyal to my friends here on WordPress, plus! I gotta entertain myself somehow #LOL
Awwwee! I’ve just climbed into Garfield to rest up. It’s 1:44am and the children have fallen asleep in my bed diagonal ways after falling asleep reading books, so I’ve got no chance of fitting!
#Yawns.
Well now, someone’s gonna be perfectly cozy 🙂
#Yawns n stretches
#Waves at you with a cuppa joe welcome back 😉
Whats Cuppa Joe?
sorri, here we know otherwise as a cup of coffee 🙂
Ahhh! Lol.. I’ll cheers to that with my glass of OJ!!
That works too! 😀
