I wanted to share some random fun stuff with you guys, because despite the ups and downs of infertility and all that bullshit, there is still a lot of life to live, right?!

A couple of weeks ago, L and I took a trip down south and celebrated my birthday a bit early. We haven’t been able to go on vacation like we would like to for a long time so we covet any time we can go more than like five miles away from home.

Here is a photo of my sugary mint chocolate chip ice cream cake (courtesy of L). Brought me right back to my childhood. Yes, it’s from Baskin Robbins. Is there any other way to do a sugary ice cream cake?

Instagram friends may have seen that we were at the Sara Bareilles concert last week at the El Rey Theater. We have seen Sara B. before (I wrote a post back in 2010). Her music really speaks to me, and her latest Brave Enough show blew my mind. She is touring alone. It is literally just her, her piano, her guitar, and the stage. If you ever get a chance to see her live, GO.

The El Rey holds less than 1,000 people. It was standing room only and felt so intimate. There are maybe a handful of (living) artists that I would stand for hours for in a room full of body heat and strangers. And when I say body heat…I am mostly talking about my own, because half the time I was mid-Lupron hotflash. Fuuuuun.
