I'm not playing along this week Mimi. I watched ZERO coverage of the Olympics. I just didn't get into it at all. A fun meme can't even draw my attention :)
Have a nice week, Queen!
Jen - I totally understand. I couldn't even get the channel so I had to go online to watch.
Hope you are well. Thanks for commenting.
Okay, I'm in!
Games??? What games????
Done and Published. Hope you enjoy.
Mimi, Sapporo in Japan is in the southern hemisphere, isn't it?
Day late and a dollar short but it's done.
You all are cracking me up here today.
Mr. Lance - My computer acts crazy when I go to your site. I am getting some sort of warning. I must read you in Google Reader. Going.....brb.
No Baklava in the Dungeon?
I demand a recount!!!

if we go to the dungeon for dodging the questions....
and I haven't seen YOUR answers from last week...
or this week....
does that mean YOU
are in the dungeon with me NOT eating Baklava?
My tulips are dead now....
Crazy Warnings will never do. I will look into this ASAP
I am with jennifer on this one. I know, how unpatriotic of me. But whatever dude I have been running my own version of the olympics in my house. I battled the luge of laundry, the curling kitty litter clean-up, the living room hockey a la baby toys in the box check, and did i get a metal? I do not think so.
Trust me, what I have pulled off in the past two weeks has been epic. EPIC!
and now I am leaving, on a jet palne, away from my babies and husband and normality, to attend a work seminar, in a different freaking country! Travelling like mad to learn, and with little time to actually do anything but work, or travel.
Forget the olympics. I am totally a marathon GURU. lol....
(really i am tired and have no funny answers to the meme. and bad hotel internet.)
