Blend 2015 To Limericks

May 20, 2015 by Meghan 59 Comments

Penning recap posts is hard for me; in a perfectly innocent manner of course, although  I know what you were thinking. Dirty birdie.

Here’s the thing, I’m not one to gush, unless of course it’s about my farmers markets veggies, and I’ve spent years developing relationships with those guys, and I do mean the produce, although the farmers are pretty mind-blowing too.

Also epic: Erika’s pick up line at the Denver airport. When a banana calls, I answer.

Erika Public Banana Plane Greeting

Vegetables and phallic fruit aside, I don’t do over the top emotional prose. It’s awkward at best, which isn’t shocking considering I’m the non-romantic who doles out relationship advice. It’s also why you’ll never read a post from me declaring my undying love for the Blend Retreat. Sure I had a fantastic time filled with some of the sassiest of ladies, but it wasn’t earth shattering or life changing. As a woman in my late thirties, only babies, health scares and sexual healing can do that, and I’d prefer the last one. 

Yep, in order for me to wax poetic about Blend, I’d have to smoke some of Colorado’s funky green stuff. Spoiler Alert: I didn’t. It’s my one regret. 

I do have enough raciness in me though, without the benefit of herbs, to get jiggy with it,  limerick style because that’s how I roll.  

One Limerick Per One Love.

Lucie

There once was a blogger named Luce.*

To CrossFit she owes her caboose.

Blonde, flirty, and most fun.

Pam Anderson ain’t got none,

Not with Lucie on the loose.

*Luce: to be pronounced loose, although I promise I’m not making a subtle jab at her sexual adventures. I’m not even suggesting she has those kinds of rendezvous. Perhaps I should shut my mouth now.

There once was a blogger named Spoons.

Together, we laugh like some loons.

She’s from Canada. ‘Eh.

Bananas make her day.

She’s my bestest blogging tycoon.

Who’s tatas were totally gnarly.*

With maturity like mine,

We got on better than fine.

As a biker, she’d ride a Harley. 

*gnarly tatas is a compliment, just in case there was any confusion.

Protein powders aren’t her thing,

Still got a shitton of bling.

She worked out, was happy and fed.

*Yes, I’m vain enough to pen my own limerick.

    You must be my recap soul sister because recaps of anything but a race are tough for me! I think you nailed it with the awkward gush feeling. I appreciate your creativity and your weekend was clearly awesome! Love that last picture of you guys all dressed up 🙂

    Aw, looks like fun! I’ve never been to a blogging retreat mostly because I think if readers show up to those kinds of things it’s just called stalking? Not sure what the protocol is on that.

    Side note: that cheese board is epic. #willblogforsnacks

      Isn’t the cheese board amazing. I knew you’d appreciate that.

      There were some non-bloggers signed up, although to be honest I don’t know that I met any. Maybe they were hiding out in the bushes, stalking. 😉

Firstly I love how you constantly keep it real: ” Sure I had a fantastic time filled with some of the sassiest of ladies, but it wasn’t earth shattering or life changing. ” And secondly, the only reason I’m bummed I missed out on BLEND is because it meant not getting a limerick made about me by yours truly. I gotta ask- did you ever try out those Quest bars that you guys got as part of the BLEND swag? I feel like your opinion is totally legit!

      Also, I gotta keep it real. Always.
