Powerless Over Hash Browns: A Limerick


Please forgive
the short post, but I've had to go out of town suddenly to help with a family medical emergency. I hope to be home and back in the saddle very soon.

(As you can see from this morning's inspiration, if I keep stress-eating at the current rate, I will need a bigger mustache by the time you see me next.)

In the meantime, though, I wanted to send a humble thank you to BlogHer for selecting my recent post, "Wham. Bam. Mammogram," as BlogHer of the Week. I am truly honored.

Breakfast limericks are the perfect post for when you are in bind for time. I hope things work out for the best with your family emergency.

Hope all is well wherever you are headed. (And you could use a little meat on your moustache).

Hashbrowns are crunchy heaven.

Take Care of yourself

Amy W said...

These tasty treats haven't brought on poetry yet, but they have managed to ingratiate themselves into a regular spot on the breakfast table since Trader Joe's started stocking them in the freezer section. :)

My thoughts are with you and your family- hope everything works out well!

Vivian Mahoney said...

LOL even in a hurry you're hilarious. I hope all is well with your family...so sorry there is an emergency.

Hashbrowns contain SSRI's and anti-anxiety properties. Sending good thoughts and virtual tater tots. Miss you. We must lunch when you return. Oui?

Kulio said...

Best wishes! Good for you for "being there" for whoever needs you - glad you made the decision to go.

I have a love-hate relationships with those greasy rectangles of crunchy/crispy wonderfulness that you regret every single time.

CaraBee said...

Hash browns are little fried bits of heaven. And that limerick ain't too shabby either.

Here's hoping the family emergency resolves itself quickly and satisfactorily!

Rhea said...

Fun limerick...and I hope everything's ok!

Sue Wilkey said...

Hope all is well- don't sweat it- we'll all be here when you get back :)

Thinking of you and your family.

P.S. Hash browns are love

Marinka said...

I hope that things are ok and congratulations on your award! You totally deserve!

MuseSwings said...

Your Wam Bam post actually deserves the Blog of the Decade, but we shan't fan our noses at blog of the week either. I'll keep an eye on your hashbrowns for you while you're away. I hope all is well and that you'll be back soon!

Take care and see you when you return.

Good luck with the emergency but don't replace the mustache.. we would never recognize you.

Isn't this called product placement? JK.

Hope all goes well with your family.

Maura said...

I love hash browns! (If it's fried and bad for you, it's probably one of my favorite foods.) And someone mentioned they are at Trader Joe's now. I wish I didn't know that.

Hope all is well with your family.

April said...

Congrats on your award, and I hope everything's okay with your family.

AiringMyLaundry said...

Have a safe trip.

Hash browns rock. I can't seem to make them without burning them. So I always order some when we go out to restaurants that serve breakfast.

Real Live Lesbian said...

Congrats!

Mmmm....bacon and hashbrowns. I wanna marry them both.

Ash said...

Hmmmmm - greasy goodness. Excellent!

Hope things are working out well. Looking forward to you being back with good news - safe travels - Em

Good luck with the family medical emergency, hope all is well.
Just think, if you got a bigger moustache you might never need to dress for dinner ever again...
