Life Well Lived List: vol. 6
Hey! It’s the first Wednesday of summer vacation! 
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!?

Hey guys!
I won’t lie to you. I have enjoyed every day of this 1 month long-unplanned-but-appreciated-blog-hiatus-except-for-the-cross-post-of-my-guest-article-for-heather.
I mean, I love my blog, and I love blogging, but I’m so glad that it isn’t my livlihood, because sometimes, I just don’t want to talk in generic terms, fit for public consumption, about my day or my life.
I’ve been in a fine mood, and everything has been good, I’ve just felt a bit out of touch with the health and fitness community.
I’m blogging today though, so… beggers can’t be choosers! Take what you can get! 
I’ve decided to start today with some photos, and a teaser.
I’ve kept up with my 365 project RELIGIOUSLY and only missed one day so far, out of 71! I have not, however been posting them here, so I offer you a recap…
**Google readers, you will need to leave the comfort of your reader to see ALL of the photos, but I will post some photographic HIGHLIGHTS of the past month here for you as a taste**
Week 6
Week 7
46/365: foot Dr. take 3 –Doc said I could try to walk more, and attempt a few seconds of jogging at a time… I’m scared.
49/365: push up–bad form, but first ones from my toes in MONTHS.
Week 8
55/365: Glamorous–Lynn doing my makeup for portrait session.
59/365: Tree-Land–We went to tree land to scope out trees for our back yard. I forgot to take a photo. This artist’s rendering is VERY accurate.
Week 9
61/365: Catching Fire–I’ve been a READING MACHINE lately. This is the 3rd novel I’ve finished in 6 days. EXCEPTIONAL book. Expect a review of the series.
62/365: Headshot–My very first HEADSHOT. by the FABULOUS lynnmichelle.com
Week 10
68/365: auditions–At auditions for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Remember there are bunch more photos, but you’ll have to come and gettem, they won’t show in your google reader. 
I promised a teaser, and I’ll deliver. I got some absolutely unbelieveably exciting news this week, that some friends and family know about, but not the world at large. (No, I’m not preggers.) I may have alluded to it up there somewhere. Have a guess? 
365 Thursday! February 4th!
Hey lovelies!
As a special treat for you (wink, wink) I’m going to take the few extra minutes I have tonight to actually throw the photos up into this link, eliminating the need for you google readers/email subscribers to make the dreaded LINK to the page.
Here are my weekly photos.
There you have it!
Isn’t that first one sad? ugh.
See you, pretties tomorrow.
365 Thursday! January 7th
Somehow, I managed to convince myself to give this 365 thing a try… my friend Emily introduced me to the concept, and in the age of modern technology, with automated text reminders sent to my phone twice a day (set up through google calendar), I’m confident I’ll take a good stab at it.
As it falls, I’ll have a week’s worth of photos on Thursdays, and I’d be lying if I denied that THree65 THursday didn’t make me pretty damned excited.
My photos are uploaded to my flickr stream, daily, but on Thursdays, I’ll post a digest of that week’s photos, so you can just catch them here.
Have a great thursday!
