I am Annoyed, Angry, aggravated, confused, stressed, irritable, and so much more. Is this what menopause is like?  

It has been about two days now since my last smoke. I tossed my pack in the trash before going to bed the other day, knowing the trash man would be by early in the morning to make them disappear.  It seems to be getting harder.

Day one I was fighting a battle with short and intense cravings, but I found ways to distract myself. Cleaning, cooking, eating, re-arranging rooms, Etc.

Today that is not working, All I can think about is how much I want a smoke.  Just one,  JUST ONE!!! Do you have any idea what I am willing to do to get it?  I don’t think you want to know.  No more short cravings, just one really Fu**ing BIG one. Nothing I am doing will satisfy it.

Relax, I know that I can’t give in, if I did I would have accomplished nothing. 

I hope day three is not this bad, I don’t know how much more of this I can take. It does get better I am sure. I know lot’s of people that quit smoking. they seem to agree that if I can manage not smoking for three days I will have it made.  Guess I wait and see.

I’m going to go and find something to distract myself now…

Welcome back to the Queen’s Meme on SV, back after our Olympic break.  and what eventful games it was.  How fitting that the Queen ends the game with an Olympic Quiz.

Maestra Mimi has a quiz for you today. How much do you think you know about the Olympics? See if you can go for the gold and answer these questions correctly. IF you want to spoof it, by all means, spoof away! The answers are at the bottom of this post. NO CHEATING unless you want to end up in the you-know-where.

Not to toot our own horn, but we know all the real answers, I am very much so an Olympic buff, to the extreme that I take two weeks off just so that I may enjoy the games un-interrupted. because the truth would not make for much of a comical meme,  I had no choice but to spoof this one. 

1. What year were the very very very first Olympics held?

2010, was the very very very first Olympic games that actually mattered, all the other games were just practice leading up to Vancouver.

2. The original games were banned for being a pagan festival because the Olympics celebrated the Greek God of........??
A. Mars
B. Venus
C. Zeus
D. Google

D, GOOGLE. to my suprise, the world most popular search giant was named after the great god of research Lord Google. His head was chopped off and replaced with the head of an elephant.

3. In 1896 the first modern-day Olympic Summer Games were held. Which country won the most medals that year?

Greece won 46 medals in total that year, but only because there was no Canada in the games, I remember that day clearly, I was there with my Brother the Greek God Google.
 
4. Which country has won the most medals EVER at the Winter Games?

That would be the Norway. did you know that their athletes get paid by their government a top dolor salary just to be an athlete, and get bonuses for every medal they win. (is that not cheating?)

5. I predict that Blogging will become the next Olympic event recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a valid sport. How would you train for this event? And if you think it should be a team event, who would you include on your team?

I would not enter this event because i would loose badly, on the same note I do not think any Olympic blogger would even want me near their team.  Now if only eating contests were considered a sport….

6. What do the five Olympic rings represent?

A&W sponsored the first Olympic games, because of a print shop error, Lord Google decided to tape 5 onion rings on a piece of cardboard and told his loyal servants to make more and scatter them all over the stadium. It was considered a high crime to eat those onion rings during the games.

in a press conference later that day, Lord Google declaimed that the ">"Olympic Onion Rings represented the 5 major world continents.

7. No country in the Southern Hemisphere has ever hosted the Winter Games? Why?

Google and A&W are not available in the southern Hemisphere, there for it would just be wrong to host the winter Olympics there, regardless of what you think, it has nothing to do with snow.

8. What the heck is curling? Why should it be a sport??

Because Curling requires a great deal of skill, precision, and mathematics.  and they had an empty spot to fill on the games schedule and needed something to fill it.

A. Skiing

Which sport was it?

12. What event would you like to see added to the Olympics? Why?
