Down two bloodhounds plus human skin...*L*...the "human skin" I must have lost with my tummy tuck. Those 2 bloodhounds must have gone tracking after all the blood I lost when I lost my human skin! :P

Now all I have to do is lose my brain to get to goal...*LOL*...wait a minute, I think I already did that.

I've lost a 5000 BTU air conditioner (I didn't lose it, it's in the garage)

and an average human brain....hmmmm, I've lost my mind!!!

I still need to lose a small bale of hay. (Might be all that fiber I eat now)

This is fun. Thanks for the fun thread!

Teri.....going see if I can locate my missing brain.....
