Okay - hear me out - this location granted me the best DMV experience I have ever had. No long lines or wait times. No overcrowded waiting area. No slow and grumpy associates. Instead, they served up scheduled appointments, plenty of seating room, and quick and friendly customer service. Amahzing.

Tried another thoughtful birthday gift today. Shoutout to my mom for giving me a calming, cozy coloring book unlike any I've used before.

As a teacher and a single lady, the decision fatigue runs deep. I love the relaxation and fun of coloring with the burden of decision-making removed. While the dot format isn't an aesthetic I would normally gravitate toward, it's surprisingly forgiving when you're less than precise—low-key permission to stop worrying about coloring outside the lines.

07.02.26 | Lime Taro Chips

Students from different cultures are always introducing us to new goodies. I learned about this snack from my mom and her students. I was a little reluctant to try it, but I was pleasantly surprised. While taro chips aren't quite as satisfying as potato chips, and I'm not usually a fan of lime-flavored chips, these were lighter than most root vegetable chips, and the lime was pleasantly sweet instead of simply sour. I probably wouldn't want a whole bag, but I'd happily snack on a serving.

Cute and relatively fun. This is a game for friends who seem to know every song there is. I only tried one level, because it looks like you have to pay to go further, and although it was fun to try, I don’t know that I would play often. I’m more of a word game girl.

This was my first guided experience of pho. The first time I had it with my family (way back in high school), we had no idea how it was meant to be experienced. We were confused at the non-assembly of the soup, and especially the raw meat. We learned something new that night. 😅

This time around, my friend Devra invited me to join her at Saigon Block to try Vietnamese food, and I tried pho again - the right way. I also tried a few other bites as well, and it was all very enjoyable.
