The first thing I noticed about blogdaughter Teresa of Technicalities is that she's tall. Not quite Tammi-tall, but still quite height-enhanced. She's also quite a nice spot of eye-candy, as you can see from this recent picture she posted.

Everyone who looked at that and thought "MILF", raise your hand.

Me too.

The thing you won't know about her just from reading her blog is how very quick she is to smile, and how broad, warm and sincere that smile is. Teresa is blessed with oodles of charm, a comfortable social presence, an easygoing demeanor, and a razor-sharp wit. A delightful woman to have chatting at the kitchen table.

Because of her fairly analytical writing style, you also might not be aware of her propensity for joking and teasing, but it's been documented by Beloved Wife's quote pen.

The other thing you've missed is the way she looks when she starts going off on a rant. You've read a few of them at her site, but without those flashing fiery eyes, animated hand gestures, and rising intensity in her voice, you're losing out on the full effect. It's like watching TV with the mute function engaged. Closed-caption Teresa just isn't the same.

And let's give credit where credit is due. I dug Teresa up out of my comments section & got her blogging. But Teresa is the one who first brought Tammi to my attention & inspired me to adopt her (because, as I said, they were already acting like gossipy sisters, anyway). Another critical link in the chain of events that made the Reunion possible.

It's thoughtful, loving, considerate acts like this that are the reason she's my favorite ;-)

1 PERFECT Harvey! There is nothing like seeing her speak - it's a delight. I'll not complain as I get the opportunity to talk with her almost daily and now I can picture that fire in her eyes! *For a real treat, talk with her while she is driving! It's poetry...angry poetry, but poetry none the same. :-) She is all you say and then some. She is one of my favorite people in life.

2 Having met her before, I was rather biased toward liking her. Any person who can teach me about computers get's a thumbs up. Great personality and no fear of talking - two thumbs up. MILF is a super bonus. She does a great imitation of her son, too. I've never met him, but I can just picture him.

3 Her imitation of her son cracked me up. Teresa is one awesome woman.

4 Wow - thank you everyone. Now I don't know what to say (and everyone says... thank goodness she's gonna shut up for a while *grin*)

5 "thank goodness she's gonna shut up for a while" Nah, we'd never say that about you. Now TAMMI... that's another story... :-P [ducks]
