The Week in the Proverbial Nutshell and a HOP!

I'm linking up with Cindy at For One Another for my week in a nutshell!  Head on over and join in the fun!  You have until Tuesday- so there's plenty of time!

And now, it's time for my week in a:

 I got it in my head last week that I needed to move two (ONLY TWO) pieces of furniture around.  Once I get something like that in my sweet little 'ol head, I HAVE  to do it.  There's no avoiding it.  Very little putting it off.  It simply MUST BE DONE.  So, on Saturday, I pulled all the Santas out of the Santa cabinet (after the Santas were out I had to remove the three glass shelves and the 6 glass panels in the doors and the front of that darn thing) and everything off and out of the big book case followed by the recruitment of help in moving them.  Simple, right?  Wrong.  It is at this point that Hubs comes into the picture.  He decides that, since the cabinet is emptied and is going to be moved, this would be a grand time to replace that piece of buckled paneling that was behind the cabinet for the last 8+ years.  That's a good thing, right?  Well, yes, it IS good that the piece of buckled paneling was FINALLY going to be replaced...BUT when Hubs FINALLY starts a project, he usually turns it into a MAJOR production and what was going to take me a matter of hours can, with the blink of an eye, end up taking DAYS- THEREFORE, I was somewhat concerned.  Luckily, he was to go fishing with his BFF Sunday morning and wanted--and this is where I almost fainted---to get the whole thing completed in ONE DAY.  He had to remove the molding around the door, ceiling and floor; take the old piece off; replace the insulation behind it; cut and fit the new piece; paint the new piece; replace molding.  And I must say that it is very possible that hell froze right over (or else the rapture did happen and I got left behind because I complain about Hubs not getting stuff done) because he did it.  Almost.  That was LAST Saturday and the molding around the door has YET to be replaced.  But, to give the devil his due, everything else was completed.  By Sunday afternoon, the furniture was moved and the dust catchers put back.  AND the boys enjoyed their fishing trip.

Our morning walks have been HOT.  The temperatures have been in the makesyousweatintheshade range.  So, I've been sweating and Tucker has been stopping to rest.  Tucker has also been going into the ponds for a drink AND to sit down in the water!  He's so funny- he stops and looks at me and then looks at the pond.  I ask, "Do you want some water?"  And he makes a beeline straight for the pond!  He walks in until the water touches his belly (which is only about three steps for him) and then he sits right down.  If it gets much hotter, I might have to join him!

I am reviewing new-to-me supplements this week from New Chapter.  I am trying the Holy Basil (claim: Elevates Spirit---uplift, calm, and balance) and the zyflamend which helps with inflammation.  I wanted to give them a try because they contain completely natural ingredients and I could use an elevated spirit.  I'll be posting a review soon and offering a giveaway!  So, stay tuned!  Meanwhile, you can check them out at these sites:
