for my friend T

My friend T pointed out that I have not written one thing directly about her on my blog. She has been great about commenting and says she reads my blog faithfully. So here, dear friends, is a list of why Miss T is a fine friend:
1) she is smart but not all puffed up about being smart
2) she is always the optimist, so much so that ya gotta wonder sometimes (he he)
3) she is fun and funny, but not in a who-can-turn-the-world-on-with-her-smile sort of way
4) she manages to have three children and still be a person (looks good, doesn't have mysterious child-related stains on her clothes)
5) she manages to be a person and still be a mother (her children can pick her out of a crowd, or lineup, if necessary)
6) she is a great teacher and always thinks about her teaching
7) she is tall (this one may not mean much to you, T, but it's always good for short people like me to have tall friends)
8) she believes in our school and makes us look good whenever she represents us
9) she cries when she reads what she's written about her children
10) she admires me

So that's it, Miss T. Moopy's next on the friends tribute, but I gotta warn you, that is gonna be one hell of a long, weird list.

Let's hear about your friends. What do they do that deems them worthy of your friendship? Nick, where the heck are you? Lost on the Garden State Parkway? You and Jess are gonna write about each other, I know. Bring it on. Whatchu got?
