Hahaha, not laughing at your pain, just at typical glam life stuff! As far as the dog thing goes, I have a LDD ( little dumb dumb)...actually she is really smart because while she's sitting around looking all innocent and cute she's actually planning her garbage strategy!
Anyway, it's so great you are keeping that PMA going! We are all so excited for you! I will be away from the board as well, so let me be the first to wish you a wonderful time with your H, a great holiday with the family, and a new beginning for 2008!
Oh, and candles. Add some nicely scented candles to the list! Romantic, and will cover any lingering dog poop in the air! xo, RJ
