She used the example that she was going to spend spring break prone on the couch with a book. I have included a picture of Dana, taken during the spring break of 2010.
Prone is an interesting word in that it has two very distinct, yet commonly used, definitions. The first is having the tendency to incliniation. "I am prone to forgetting names", "the little boy was accident prone".
The second is the definition you see Dana exhibiting so well above: lying flat or prostrate. I guess you could say, "Dana is prone to being prone during spring breaks."
