One of the emails I designed this week got recognized by the Senior VP of Merchandising – a welcome contrast to the comments we received last week about our emails not being ‘sexy’ enough.

I rewarded myself with an Iced Horchata Oat Milk Latte from Peet’s and homemade avocado toast.

Look at that perfectly poached egg! Thank you for the tips, Pioneer Woman! I went to lunch once with Nori at Urth Caffe in LA and ordered a breakfast pizza. Before I dug in, I was like, ‘Nori, get this shot’ as I sliced through the poached egg expecting to get a perfect runny yolk vid for the ‘gram. It was cooked solid! I’ve doordashed the same order and the poached egg was cooked solid again. Perhaps they could learn a thing or two about poaching eggs from Ree Drummond 😜

We’re v serious about our ice cream 🍨

Also, I was driving in Little Italy, and saw they were building a Handel’s there. They’re also building The Boy & The Bear there, another coffee shop near my apartment in Redondo Beach. I love that my LA haunts are opening spots in SD!

You guys, it’s been a fucking week.

I walked Milo to Petco Park even though I knew there was a game going on. I couldn’t walk him till after work and it was getting late. East Village isn’t very safe after a certain hour, but I knew there’d be lots of people on the way to the ballpark.

I turned on the game when I got home, saw the score, and immediately turned it off. I don’t need that negativity in my life 😅

I almost impulse bought a new laptop to make me feel better, but the site I usually buy my Macbooks from was closed for Shabbat. I’ve been buying my laptops from B&H Photo for over a decade now, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen that. Shabbat is a weekly thing. Have I never tried to buy a laptop between sundown on a Friday to nightfall on Saturday? Or was B&H Photo acquired by a Jew since my last purchase? Anyway, mazel, and thank you for saving me from dropping $3K 😅

Jess sent me this post about a chubby sea lion in SF and lifted my spirits. All the other viral animals I follow on Insta are across the world in Asia (Moo Deng the hippo in Thailand and Punch the monkey in Japan LOL). Coincidentally, my boss told our web team today that this creative platform company that we work with offered us free admission to their conference in SF in June as long as we can get there on our own. I have hella Southwest points so my flight would be free, I’d get to not work for 2 days, I’d get to catch a glimpse of Chonkers 🤪 I would have to pay for a hotel, though, and your girl has grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle traveling with Pammie’s rich ass 😜 I will already be strapped for cash after back-to-back BTS concerts in Vegas later this month, and after I probably buy that laptop tomorrow after nightfall 😅
