So, here's the shower with its "cement board" all put into place. Yes, we have a Wonder Shower. I keep looking at it, wondering if the size is right, but now that's it is this far, I think yes--it's fine.
We have electrical! New "boxes" for lights over the mirror and a switch to match. He moved the outlets up higher on the wall so we wouldn't have to cut into the backsplash. Another reason why I really like this contractor--he's always thinking one ahead of me. I don't show it in the photos, but there now is a matching outlet on MY side of the bathroom counter. We only had one before, and I was always stretching the cord across Dave's sink. It's the little things that mean so much.
And. . . TA DA! We painted. Since we are boring people, we went with the same color as our bedroom, and I'm already second-guessing our choice. I spent every moment I wasn't painting on Saturday at the computer working on school. On Sunday, I was just as bogged down, but now I can say that I have my Course Calendar done. My textbook is about 1200 pages, and I had to read most of it in order to decide what to teach (duh). I had tried for some time to get this last one done, but it takes concentrated* effort and I was continually distracted before school started with this and other matters, so I had to really buckle down and Get It Done. The Course Calendar, that is.
Today the contractors (it's a husband and wife team) start with the tile in in the shower. Wednesday the countertops and sinks come in. I'll keep you posted.
P.S. This is my 500th post. I should celebrate or something, but I've got to go

Yay for 500! Can't wait to see the finished bathroom!
Happy 500. And the bathroom looks like it will be great. Wish I could hire your contractors, but it would probably be cost prohibitive to fly them out here....
