A few things:

The fried chicken makes me lonely for SW Ohio – I lived there for five years and when I’ve gone to Pittsburgh I’ve felt totally at home so I guess that makes sense.

I felt the same way after I finished journalism school last year. Weird. It is a big deal – congratulations.

Finally – that Virgin Mary shot made me think of every time I worked Bingo at church. She wasn’t there, but she would have fit right in.

I’ve been following your blog since you started the Master’s (way back on Live Journal!). It went fast for me! haha… Seriously, though. It’s a major major accomplishment. Graduate school is hard enough when that’s the only thing on your plate. But with a family and a job, well…..let’s just say YOU ROCK! Enjoy yourself this holiday season. BTW..the pic of your husband helping your son tie his tie is precious!

big congrats. i had to explain to my new zealand hubby’s family what a fahr hahl wedding was and why i was slightly annoyed at the suggestion my mother made that we should have one. we settled on a community center wedding with some italian pasta amid the good stuff and a cookie table next to the cake. i had to draw the line at having iron city on the bar. yech.

After all the hard work you did you deserve a nap! And as many cupcakes as you can eat. Congratulations again, I’m so happy for you.

I think Joe had that exact menu at his bachelor party — I came home after our festivities and found a fridge full of fried chicken and rigatonis.

I also love how it’s never just rigatoni, it’s rigatonis.

Oh…and I just got the joke of your post title. Ha! Perhaps I shouldn’t have dropped out of grad school.

I know I’m not a fancy virgin mary statue who cries, but I hope my congratulations brightens your day just the same. Congratulations! Truly awesome, my friend.

awww.

and one more time–congratulations! you will spend time for a while twitching and fretting that you were supposed to be doing something that you know you are forgetting. when really, you aren’t! the stress relief is a weird animal.

also, you kill me with the fried chicken and rigatonis. soooooo wePA. i am married to a wePA man and the ubiquitous steelers jersey at all events, the serving of fried chicken, rigatoni and cookies at everything totally weirded me out for a long while. i told them over and over–people from my neck of the woods just don’t eat or serve anything like you folks do. it is just different. and that is ok!
