Describe your hairstyle in two words or less.
Geriatric VictoriaBeckem
What is your favorite song?
“His Eye is On the Sparrow”
What is the last thing that totally blew your mind.
How much I loved my boys. I never knew love could be that deep.
How's your love life?
Very, very full! I love lots of wonderful family and friends.
If there's one dessert you could eat until it hurts, what would it be?
Mary Johnson’s cream puffs….and I have eaten them till it hurts! As Daniel so wisely pointed out one day, “Mom your fat cells are always waiting to plumped back up.”
When is your bedtime?
This one is easy. Everyone in my life knows if they call past 9:00__ it better involve an ambulance.
Einstein said: "A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin. What else does a man need to be happy?" Customize this quote to fit yourself.
“A table with my boys and their loves around it, a chair where I can hold a grandchild, a bowl of hair-bleach, and money from the sale of a great Violin on E-Bay…what else would a this lady need?”
What is your most under appreciated attribute?
My calmness in crisis, my ability to diagnose people, and my wealth of useless information are equally unappreciated.
If you could have any pet, what would it be?
Long haired female Chihuahua named Maude.
How much can you bench press?
I birthed Daniel Johnson.
Quick, how old are Betty and Leroy Thompson?
In light of the fact they were designed for eternity___ pretty young!!
And what are they really doing with all that free time?
Dad is turning up the thermostat. Mom is either clicking on the blog or tormenting truckers (where there is construction on the highway and it is down to one lane), by going exactly the speed limit in front of them.
Will you announce your candidacy this year?
If only I had realized, in time, that the United States needs__ an “Original Maverick”!

I was sure glad to see some entries on the blog. I click on two or three times (sometimes more) a day to get my fix and I got it this morning.
I loved your answers to all the questions and especially about Dad and me, our age and what we are doing.
Did you get your power back on and--have you heard from the biopsy?
Love you,
Mom
Power is back on and I get my results at 4:15 today.
Be sure to let me know what the results are.
Love,
Mom
I was hoping to get through mom's answers without having to make fun of her but I can't. She said one of her under appreciated qualities is "calmness in crisis." What? Now maybe she is joking, and in that case, I'm sorry I missed the joke. But if you are serious...then I have to say that this is the same mom that I can remember on multiple occasions running frantically around the room in circles when me or my brothers got injuries. She has continued this tradition with the grand kids. It is actually a joke with Mary and me every time that something dramatic happens that we wonder how mom would have handled it.
I love the rest of the answers...and I love you. But calmness in crisis? Not really.
For everyone else's info...Mom's test came back that she has the lesser of two evils in the immune disease.
I was going to comment too on the "calmness in crisis" answer, but didn't know if I should...but leave it to my awesome brother Matt to have my back and call mom out on that. Thanks bro!
As for her being calm.....i remember as kids we used to play the game, lets stand behind the door and try and scare my mom to death by yelling at her when she came into the house and would watch her as she let out a scream and her knees buckled....wait, as I think about that, it has nothing to do with being calm in a crisis...oh well....hehehe....scaring her as she came into the house and watch her knees buckle....good times.
OK...let's give Matthew another vicoden to learn more "mother/mother-in-law" scoop....
In case the family doesn't know, Matthew is home recuperating from a direct, unbroken fall on his back when a ladder rung broke and what he was taking up fell on top of him.
He's looped on vicoden and spilling good stuff...
Trish warned me to lay off the chew...
Remember Trish...
"I don't smoke and I don't chew, and I don't go with the boys who do."
As Matt told everyone I got really good news from my Dr. Out of respect to what I saw Rich endure I did take it very serious.
Thanks for the prayers and love everyone!
My mouth works very well.
