Okay, so I promised you all a link to my performance of "It's Complicated" at the Listen to Your Mother-Austin Show. And apparently not making good on your promises is frowned upon in this establishment!
I must say, on video I appear to be on Valium, but I promise I wasn't. Just 1/4 xanax and, um, wine. And holy crap the lights! Why do stage lights make you look like Frankenstein's Bride's Great Aunt Brunhilda? Plus, I'm pretty sure I sound like I belong to the Lollipop Guild.
Sigh.
Word of warning, a technical malfunction occurred during my introduction and the beginning of the vid, so it's slightly glitchy. What you missed was simply me droning out: "I am the mother of four daughters. The eldest is separated from the youngest by only four and a half years." That's always riveting stuff, birth. Well, it is if you imagine being there! Which I wouldn't recommend before meals. And then also a fractional glitch midway through, strangely representative of my real life. Heh.
Regardless, it was a really fun and cool experience, and I can't thank Wendi Aarons and Jennifer Sutton enough for allowing me to join the show. So go on, have a peek HERE. I'll stay behind and be embarrassed enough for all of us.

You rocked, my friend. And so did your hair. Congrats!
I loved this! You did such a great job! There's got to be more of this in your future!
You were awesome. And now forever enshrined on YouTube. I might be jealous.
You did a great job! You sound very soothing. And you looked hot!
Wow! That was awesome! I can't believe how well-written, well-spoken and poised you were! You could have a career as a motivational speaker.
You are such a wonderful speaker, and that speech was so heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time! I can't imagine raising 4 young kids on your own.....I was a single mother for only two years before remarrying. But as a mom, we survive by doing the best we can. You sound like a wonderful mother.
Great job. You were funny and intelligent.
You did great. I'd love to do something like this.
xananx and wine - or what I like to call Monday - Friday
cheers....
That was absolutely fabulous. You made me laugh. You made me cry. You made me happy to know that your daughter had such a supportive mom. Beautifully done!
You are a BABE! Eloquently spoken! And an example of Truth could not have been better spoken..especially on how you spell hormones in teens!
I was there and you did great! I'm sure the video is worth watching, even with the glitch.
The whole group was fantastic!
First of all, I like your name! I've only known you as the Fragrant Liar! Secondly- you did GREAT!!! Come to Green Bay, we need you!
Awesome! Congratulations.
You were great. Excellent piece, excellently delivered.
You SERIOUSLY underestimate yourself. You sounded and looked fantastic.
I have thought you were beautiful since I saw this blog. This merely reinforces that.
Wonderful :-)
Bravo, madam. Touching, funny, bittersweet and good.
Hats off to the lady! (bowing)
Kimber, you were amazing. I was so moved by your story. You really did a lovely job. Congratulations.
way to go, hotstuff! you rocked it! and i do understand the weirdness of hearing your own voice -- i sound NOTHING like that inside my head...
You. Rock. The. Casbah.
Wow! That was great!
nice..you did a great job and what a pleasant voice to listen to as well....
You are so hard on yourself. You did a super job. You looked great and you speak like a professional.
I loved your reading. You have a great presence on stage and your piece was really moving. Thank you!!
as if i didn't worship you before, THIS video sealed the damn deal! A.MAZE.ING. i loved listening to you, loved your story, though heartwrenching mixed w/ humor (as only you can do) and you looked GREAT! thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Really, really good! Yes, do more of this ... you are so awesome at it!
Add sensible, level headed and strong to the list of your growing attributes. In all honesty you impressed me in so many ways and have actually changed my perception of American women.
In a nutshell, intelligent, smart, strong and sensual. Bravo.
I wish you could be in the show EVERY year since you were so amazing. I'll have to talk to the producer about that...
Just saw your videa and had to drop by and say how much you rocked! Awesome. Wish I had been there to see the whole show.
