Happy New Year 2026, and hoping it's better than 2025!
That Google Doodle, tho - the pressure 😅

I got to try Piroshky Piroshky on the Seattle Waterfront, and I loved it! I found my thoughts and feelings to be right in line with the average. A 4.5 star experience, though I gave them 5 bc I'm in a good mood and I'd been wanting to try.
Had another #Seattle #waterfront adventure, & tried #PiroshkyPiroshky, which I found to be pretty incredible eating.
Kai & I enjoyed it at the tables overlooking #PugetSound nearby, & it was a nice #PNW experience 🤩

Oh, go follow me. I'm a #GoogleLocalGuide 🤓
I have been far more active on Google Maps this year than I have here. Hopefully I can be more consistent here for 2026

There we go. I had to rewrite it bc I originally did it on the wrong account. This is the Google Local Guide one that's linked to.
Whoops! This is just my regular Gmail, not my local guide account. But we get the fun story about Soov, the architect I dated and the impact she had on my trajectory.
My buddy Kai & I crossed another #library off my list today!
We're at the #CapitolHill branch of the #Seattle #PublicLibrary system, & I left it a pretty-positive #Google review: maps.app.goo.gl/sqgCbqZygtzZ...
I'm *ahem* a #GoogleLocalGuide, & worth a follow if you ❤️ #libraries 🤓

A 2fer for National Beer Lovers Day September 7, as hubs and I discovered #vallartasupermarkets only 2 months ago.
The cool beer signage needed its own post 🍺

Every year on August 31, National Trail Mix Day is celebrated.
Last week I had the opportunity to tour the Courtyard Marriott near UCR and take this poolside pic, and our goody bags contained 2 brands of trail mix 👍

Google Maps alert says, and I quote, “Your reviews are REALLY popular on Google Maps… let’s celebrate your impact!”
#GoogleMaps #glazes me so much for doing free #work for them (I’m a #GoogleLocalGuide) that I KNOW their rewards system is powered by #AI 🙄
I’m surprised they haven’t told me how #smart & #cool & #fuckable I am 😆
