Pittsburgh girl

I was looking for something in old emails and found this from Christi. And since I'm returning to the 'burgh in less than a week, I figure now is a good time for it :-)

"A Pittsburgh girl knows just as much about football as her guy friends, in some cases, even more. She drinks beer b/c it tastes good but knows when to be classy and drink something more sophisticated. She owns a Steelers jersey not just b/c it's cute but because she supports her team and understands the game.

She loves Kennywood and isn't afraid to order cheese fries from the Potato Patch b/c let's face it - Pgh girls wear winter coats and scarves a lot more than bikinis and flip flops.

A Pgh girl loves St. Patrick's Day, even if she's not Irish b/c green beer is good for the soul.

Pgh girls don't have a funny accent. They just speak a different language. The word yinz is dear to her heart, even if she would never say it herself.

A Pgh girl bleeds black and gold and knows how to have a great time. She's stylish and sweet, has a great education, and loves her friends and family.

A Pgh girl goes to church on Sunday hung over, only to be let out by the priest early b/c the Steelers kick off at 1.

A Pgh girl might not live by the beach, but The Three Rivers are just as good!

She has seen all 4 seasons and has a reason to love and hate each of them. She's the type of girl you can call late and night and spill your heart to. She's the type you can take home to Mom and Dad w/o worrying they won't like her. B/c everyone loves a Pgh girl.

If you need a girl to take to the game, she'll be there. If you need a friend to help you out, she's there. If you need a drinking buddy, she'll be there with her IC Light in hand.

You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh, but you can never take the Pittsburgh out of the girl!"
