Life Well Lived List: vol. 6

June 8, 2011

Hey! It’s the first Wednesday of summer vacation! Open-mouthed smile And it’s life well lived Wednesday!

I figured I’d add a couple to my list this week! I’m having such an awesome time resting, and catching up on my sanity that it will be brief this.

I’ve totally BOMBED a performance of the Star Spangled Banner

It was senior year of high school, I think, and I was the chosen show choir performer who was supposed to sing the Anthem at a game… I think it was basket ball.

Well, as you know, the Star Spangled Banner is VERY SERIOUS business. And as a 17 year old singer, you’re pretty much required to use the song to prove how serious, patriotic, and talented you are by prolonging phrases, and channeling your inner Whitney.

Oh Mah GAWD, y’all…

I started singing, and was going SO DRAMATICALLY SLOW (cause slow=emotion, right?) that I lost my place!!

“Byyyyyyyyy the dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwns’ earlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight….

…

O_O

*someone nearby whispers: WHATSOPROUDLY!*

What sooooooooooo PROUUUDLYYYYYY”

BAhahaaaaa. It might be one of those things that is worse in your head. But I doubt it.

Anyway, I laughed about it later, and also learned a great lesson about singing from the heart, and not going so slowly to feign drama that you forget what you’re freaking doing.

I’ve given a cow a photoshoot

We were in the beautiful mountains of Northern Spain, and this cow just wanted to be photographed. I zoomed some, of course, but I was able to get pretty close. It was awesome.

How many people can say they gave a diva cow a photoshoot!?

Just feeling average…

January 25, 2010

Well, after the big “REVEAL” last week, wherein I told all of you, my closest bloggie friends that I wouldn’t be running in the half marathon, I’ve been feeling pretty okay.

You have been nothing if not super supportive, which I really appreciate.

I am fighting a bit with body image for the past few weeks, because I know that I’m the same weight… (I’ve weighed like, 144 for four months) but I’m absolutely, and undeniably losing muscle, which I hate.

I’m combating those softening feelings by going to yoga 2-4 times a week, as my doctor forbid me to do any weight bearing activities including walking, running, strength training, and pretty much all calisthenics. I can ride my bike though, so I had daron air up my tires yesterday. (THANKS, love!)

Anyway, I’m just feeling sluggish and less than my best. I’m not surprised to learn that I’m craving cardio… actually, yea. I am.

Anyway, I guess that’s all I have to report tonight…

Don’t forget I’m giving away yummy snacks from buffalo nickel wingers…

Please verify that you’ve left a comment for EACH of the 3 possible entries! Some of you tweeted, but never left a separate comment.
Entries close at 9pm tomorrow (tuesday) night!

I leave you now with pictures of my FAVORITE cows. The cutest cows, I mean, the MOST completely cute cows in the whole world.

My Spanish bovine buddies.
