A riddle to beat Sunday boredom

OK, I'm off 2 partay, but here's a lil riddle for u guys just in case you get bored tomorrow:

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

you'd have to be pretty bored!
