This is my mom. Isn't she a babe? Not only that, but she's available. So if anyone knows any tall, good looking, rich, single men, feel free to send them her way. She doesn't have a blog, but wanted to play the random fact game. Her purpose wasn't for me to post them, but I thought you all should know what an awesome mom I have...despite her gag reflex and a few other of these random things.
Random Facts
- I have a fetish for dishes. My current count is 13 sets.
- I have an overly sensitive gag reflex. I have gagged and even thrown up brushing my teeth.
- I went back to college and earned my Bachelors Degree at age 45.
- I was captain of the Meteorettes in high school. (That was the school drill team. We lived in Winslow Arizona by the Meteor Crater, hence the name.)
- The only broken bone I’ve ever had occurred 4 years ago when I tripped over the shoes I’d left out. It required extensive medical treatment.

I love your mom! I am glad you posted those random facts...Dang, I miss having the Benson family around!!
I'll work on the single man for her. I do have one in my ward--tall, good looking, religous, and an optometrist =)...Let me get to know him a little better and see if he is good enough for your mom! =)
I love your mom, too!! She is amazing, and I just told Dana about Bill Engvall, and he was like, "no way!" We love him!! So funny- I love the random facts- I will have to work on some...I will miss seeing her visit you, but tell her we love her too! I especially love the speeding ticket pioneer woman- laughed out loud, even though you had told me it before!! SO funny!
Best of luck with the man gig, we will think of her! She should so start a blog- I would read it everyday!
I wish I knew someone for her!! She sounds awesome. I love the speeding ticket one, I can so picture the pioneer outfit. =)

I loved these. Thanks for sharing. Besides the fact that she's cool for being your mom, these facts make her cool for being her. I also think she should start a blog, I'd be a regular reader. I can't wait to see your her first post!
Too bad your mom doesnt still live here in Cali...your mom and my mom could good lookin' for guys together! :) I miss having you guys around too.
This was great! I love your mom!
hahaha I remember my mom telling me that story. That's gotta be the best. I love Aunt Lauri! I mean, come on, what's not to love? :)
That is a great list. Unfortunately, the photo wouldn't come up, so I couldn't see what Hot photo you posted.
I think some of Lauri's list is hereditary. Gray hair in my 20's, gag reflex (I threw up on my dentist), and a dislike for seafood.
However, some is learned behavior. I don't have a tendency to dress in pioneer clothing nor for deviant behavior requiring police involvement.
Love, love, love your mom. Unfortunatly, I am looking for a man for my mom as well...sorry. By the way, the pic didn't load. I wanna see how your mom is doing! She was always hot.
