OKay, I'm giving five away because I have no room for them. So here goes. Let me know if you want an MP3 CD or a regular CD. I guess one is to input into iTunes and the other just goes in your car or CD player?
I'm so techy! Congratulations. Email me at Kristin@KristinBillerbeck.com with your address.

Elle is watching "Teen Nick" and it's number nine this week. Why do some songs take SOOO freaking long to catch on? That song has been fantastic from day one. Why the delay people?
I told people a YEAR ago. What is up with that?
His fans are rabid. When we went to that concert last year, he was clearly the highlight and so many people left after him. Not even waiting for MY favorite Matt Nathanson. Such a great day! My friend and I took our daughters and had a blast!
Does anyone out there know how to raise money to go on a mission trip to Russia? If it's not church-sponsored, do you work with the missionary office that is IN Russia to raise the money? Or can you do it privately through your church? Or can it be charitable donation on your taxes? Does anyone know?
Cannes is crazy this year. They've had a jewelry heist and someone pulled a gun on Christoph Waltz. But the fashion is good. Audrey Tautou could wear a sak and look good, but as usual, she rocked the red carpet.
I usually hate everything Nicole Kidman wears, so I have to give her credit this year. I love this dress. It has whimsy and the shoes rock. Usually, she looks like she doesn't have a lick of fun.
I'm off to a Comic convention where Stan Lee will be. The Star Wars 501st will be there and just many nerds in costume -- which is always a fantastic bit of fun. I so love that intellectuals enjoy costumes without shame. It makes the world a better place.
I just came from Santana Row where the Tesla store is. If you're not familiar with them, they are fully electric cars that are beautiful and it's sporty with pick-up. Which, for an electric car, is quite a feat.
The guy who runs Tesla is beyond annoying. He's young, arrogant and completely self-entitled. But I have to admit, his creation is beautiful. I've seen a few of them around town now, and I must admit, if I had an extra $100k, I would want a Tesla.
Luckily, I do not have an extra hundred k, and if I did, I doubt I would spend it on a car, but it's a beautiful car. Have you seen one? Or are they just in the Bay Area so far?
I posted earlier than he was 97, but my mom called and asked me, "How old is your grandfather?"
"97."
"You're missing a year. He's 98!"
Okay, well, when there are that many years, it's easy to do, right?
Today is my brother's 50th birthday.
My grandfather has a 50-year old grandchild and TWO great-grandchildren going off to college! That is seriously old! He wears it well. I asked him what it felt like to have a granddaughter who needed bifocals. LOL
I studied his ancestry and he had relatives in the 1700's who lived until 90! I come from tough stock and it's a good thing because if I'd have looked at that covered wagaon, I wouldn't have been like, "Seriously? You think I'm taking HOW many kids across the country in that thing? I don't think so. You need to see what you can do from here."
These two need to stay the heck off Twitter and get on with life. So the story goes, that LeAnn sent Brandi Mother's Day flowers. Sweet right? However, Brandi had no way to thank LeAnn for the gift because she doesn't have her phone number. So she tweeted this:
✔ @BrandiGlanville
I thanked @leannrimes on twitter4 my flowers.Our relationship is that we still don't even say hi at baseball.I dont have her number-thats it
3:02 PM - 13 May 2013
It should have died there. But LeAnn is a fighter and takes everything as a personal affront. She, I'm sure, felt that Brandi should be grateful for her "kindness" of the flowers, but it's almost impossible to believe there's not an ulterior motive when Brandi doesn't have the phone number of LeAnn or Eddie -- considering that her kids are there a good portion of the time.
If LeAnn doesn't like Brandi using the media to get a message to her, rather than cat-fighting back, LeAnn should give out her phone number to the mother of Eddie's kids. Then, she should tweet: "MISUNDERSTANDING. Brandi has my number now. She can thank me properly."
I think once LeAnn has her own kids that she might grow up. Personally, I don't think that Brandi does obsess about her ex and LeAnn. I think she believes it's weird that they have such an acrimonious relationship and don't communicate like adults. LeAnn, whatever you think of her, she doesn't act like an adult in public. She acts like a woman desperate for attention.
Wouldn't it be odd to sit at a baseball game for their shared son and not speak?
Think about the kids. It's not a competition, LeAnn. You "won" so be the bigger woman and next time, sign the Mother's Day card with a phone number so that Brandi can properly thank you - if that's what you expect. However, there's a reason these two women BOTH ended up with Eddie. He's a wuss and let's his women fight his battles.
I stopped by my friend's kindergarten class today (I was in the neighborhood.) Okay, my first thought was, how does ANYONE do this all day? I give you props, teachers. That's a lot of little people to organize all day long.
But after the kids had gone home, there's only four kids who stay late. And one little girl is not paying very much attention. She's wandering about the room and talking. She refuses to put feet on her father's drawing in the family picture.
So how does Laurie handle this difficult student?
"You're having a hard time focusing today." Insert disappointed teacher look. "You know who else has a hard time focusing?" And she POINTS at me.
I was used as a BAD example in a kindergarten class. What is up with THAT?
I wonder what the girl was thinking, "Wow, does she live in a box now or what?"
I hope she followed that thought with this one. "At least she's got cute shoes! What else matters?"
I just got home and my son said, "Did your purse come yet?"
I ran outside to check. When I came back in, they were holding the box hostage.
They said, "Breathe, Mom. Breathe."
I did. It's even more darling than I imagined. It would have been nice to have it today for work, but whatever, it's here now! I know, no one actually cares, but me, but I have so much joy. I have to pass it on...
