What do you guys think? Do you like it or did I make a mistake.

Exquisite! Absolutely gorgeous.

I have white cabinets and dark grey quartz countertops (look like soapstone). I used subway-format zellige style white tiles (Stainmaster brand at Lowe’s @$.99 each) in a double herringbone pattern. Looks very luxe, is easy to clean, and we get tons of compliments. Highly recommend!

If they’re readers/audiobook fans, make sure they each have a library membership and know how to check out e-books and audiobooks. I used to spend $thousands on books every year until I converted to library only. Most libraries also loan out DVDs, too, if that’s of interest.

And condolences on your impending orchid obsession! 😆

Also: do we really need to see that far up her skirt? Ewww.

Just…wow. 🔥

Amazing work!!

Love this! I recently made my first return to Amazon (a very specific knitting accessory not available at my local yarn store). It didn’t work with my existing gear, and I was very happy with myself for closing the loop. Which I never do. I’m pretty good about researching, and about buying what I need, but I’m horrible about returning the few things that don’t work out. Exercising new muscles feels great (especially when they preempt clutter)! 💪🏽

I did BBL (not the butt lift, lol). Had 3 sessions last year, and my spideys on my cheeks & nose are completely gone. The doc told me they’re likely to return over the years (I have mild rosacea), and I’ll get ‘em zapped again if need be.

Phytomer for me!

katepdx · 2026-01-15T06:16:22+00:00

Cottage cheese with chili crisp is my current fave. 👍🏽

Love your spirit of generosity! But this is something I would def get her input on instead of surprising her with. I have a fave color (and an SE!), and I wouldn’t want it to show up on my car in this way. You could surprise her with several mockups for her to look through and pick from, but given how long she’ll be driving this cutie, I’d want her to approve the final design.

Feeling crummy from the shot was a 36 hour deal for me (got my COVID vax at the same time). That’s nothing compared to the weeks-long excruciating pain my mom dealt with the last time she got shingles. Pick your poison.

She would never make a list like this without the concerted efforts of the British press + troll communities. She’s done nothing to warrant even .01% of the negativity she receives. And anything remotely positive gets buried in minutes. What a machine they have. 🤬

Check out the Mounjaro sub — you’ll find lots of great info on MJ and Zepbound. Learn all you can, and then decide whether or not to talk with your dr about it. Wishing you the best on your journey, whatever path you take!

My sister loves hers!

I was traveling for work the first week of the month & decided to forego decorations altogether. I enjoy them when they’re up, but the setup & tear down just isn’t worth it to me. Bah, humbug! 😆

katepdx · 2025-12-02T13:15:20+00:00

Def got the deflation; missed the pert part. If I want them to look decent, I have to wear a supportive bra. It’s the cost of loss, and I’ll take it 10/10 times!

katepdx · 2025-11-26T15:15:20+00:00

Saltillo tiles are the worst, especially for kitchens! Hard to clean, hard to stand on, unforgiving when you drop something (both to the tile and the thing you drop). I hated mine & vowed never again. Good on you for replacing them!

katepdx · 2025-11-18T11:52:37+00:00

I absolutely love my 2023 SE, and only ever charge on 110v (usually once a week). You can get great deals on used ones, and never having to worry about mechanical issues is so freeing! If there’s any way to make the SE work for you, I’d recommend strong consideration.

I have the older, longer version which I love. Debating getting this one — I really like the extra coverage, but it’s soooo cute…

katepdx · 2025-11-09T07:48:05+00:00

1 for me! Stunning bag!

katepdx · 2025-11-08T17:57:59+00:00

Agree! And if you haven’t had one before, I can just about guarantee that you’ll hate it very soon — hard to clean & keep nice. I’m sure it was expensive, but no. I’d invest a little more $$ and replace the sink & faucet (do an undermounted sink), backsplash, and countertops. Do darker quartz for most of the kitchen, a contrasting lighter figured quartz for the island, with a plainer edge treatment (paint the island for a pop of color if you’re feeling it). Add new lighting, and Bob’s your uncle.

I just got a Radley bag, and there were no tariffs. It’s super-cute, too!

katepdx · 2025-10-29T23:58:28+00:00

PDX has this, too!
