It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love how they’re large, too. We did huge charcoal tile about the same size and I adore it. Congrats on a sharp looking bathroom!

Beautiful! What is the tile in the floor/shower? We have large dark gray on the floors/subway tile/glass showers in two bathrooms, but I’m kinda loving this for another bath or a powder room.

I will un grey you whenever I can, promise 😉

Thanks! On another note why the hell are you Grey?

I’ve made it through three days of my mom and stepdad staying with me for Thanksgiving and didn’t smoke once, which I’m stupid proud of. I love my mom, but too long together sometimes and my anxiety and stress go uuuuup like whoooa. I’ve been intending to quit (again) now that I’m out of a miserable job and on new…

This is so gorgeous omg I’m in loooooove.

I experienced good this week. I have a BFF of 30 years who is also my daughter’s godmother. She and I met in LA, I moved to the opposite coast and we have managed visits every 3-5 years and multiple phone calls per day. I can’t describe how our friendship has been like my lifeline - she and I have saved each other…

We cooked a huge Thanksgiving dinner, put up our Christmas decorations, went to see Thor, and got our hair cut!

thanks! i’ve got everything i need for tomorrow packed by the door, playlist and all requisite av cables in my bag, i’m ready. i’m not super jazzed about having to drive back into manhattan tomorrow afternoon but it will be the last time i am forced to do something when i don’t want to do it so i think i’ll be able to…

I love this! My accomplishment for this week was going to the gym the day after Thanksgiving with my mom. I definitely ate more than I meant to on the day (I didn’t know there would be pecan pie!) but I feel like I generally didn’t let myself go hog wild. It felt good to know that I maintained my good habits.

i made a decision during therapy on tuesday that i was finally going to walk away from my abusive, borderline mother for good. the rest of my shitty family too. the only outstanding piece to all of this is that i left a bunch of stuff at my mom’s apartment when i moved to nyc at the beginning of the year, so talking…

It was fantastic and amazingly easy. I’ll probably make it again for my in laws Christmas dinner. Thankfully comments are working on my phone again so I can add pictures.

I bought my first Kindle on Black Friday - it sounds like base consumerism and not like an achievement at all, but I’m addicted to books, always have been. However, I am overrun with books. I can’t move for books. Shelves are overflowing. And that’s not counting all the boxes full of books in the garage.

Gorgeous! Looks like a room in Architectural Digest or something. Great work!

Well, I wasn’t overly ambitious since it was my second attempt. The crust was courtesy of the dough boy. My wife sometimes makes homemade crusts, but she wasn’t home the night I made the pie. It was actually very simple. The other time I made the same pie I added 6 strips of crumbled bacon. I thought that was pretty…

Staying off the scale is easy. 😎 I am never tempted to get on it. The rest, as you say, is harder, mostly because I am too close to see the difference.

That. Is. Beautiful.

Yay, progress other people can see! I haven’t really tracked my weight loss so much. I understand that replacing fat with muscle, which has a greater density but takes far less space, is going to mean the number on the scale doesn’t tell you the whole story of your progress. So I am paying more attention to inches,…

Congrats! Hope it works out for you. You’ve paid your dues, for sure.
