Mail's here!
What does that say?? Look closer!
Thanks, everybody, for your supportive messages this summer. Now I really DON'T have to set foot in the Javits Center, ever again, if I don't want to!
And in knitting news, my niece's sweater is coming along...
I'm still not 100% sure about the proper proportions for a kid-sweater. With a little luck, she'll look neither slumpfy or streetwalkery in the end! Soon I'll be on to the yoke, and need to get busy on charting out a pattern.
Posted by jess at November 18, 2006 10:33 AM | TrackBackyahooooooo! Sounds like a good reason to celebrate!
Posted by: Angela at November 18, 2006 10:56 AMCongratulations!! That's a great achievement!
Posted by: Veronica at November 18, 2006 11:00 AMWAY TO GO!! You must be one smart cookie! But we already knew that. =]
Hey! That's looks just like the letter you get from the Health Department when your test comes back positive for chlamydia!!
Oh, wait, I mean when my friend gets a letter from...nevermind.
Posted by: David Schloss at November 18, 2006 11:37 AMWow! Congratulations! Smooth sailing from here???
Posted by: Jeanie at November 18, 2006 11:37 AMHad to de-lurk to say congrats! No small feat, I am sure!!!
(and is it just me, or should it have been on a fancier piece of paper, or maybe with a ball of cashmere as a congratulatory gift thrown in?)
Posted by: kate at November 18, 2006 11:59 AMFelicitations! We're proud of you, but hopefully not nearly as proud as you are of yourself.
Posted by: Jezabel at November 18, 2006 12:28 PMCongratulations! That is the best news I have heard all day (it even trumps hearing that my brother is pseudo-engaged because you didn't pseudo pass the bar . . . you actually passed it!)
Posted by: Ava at November 18, 2006 1:23 PMJess, this is excellent news, my warmest congratulations! You rock! GO girl!
Posted by: Olga at November 18, 2006 1:53 PMYou go girl!

Posted by: rachel at November 18, 2006 3:11 PMmany congratulations and much celebrating and knitting!
Posted by: Debbie at November 18, 2006 3:30 PMYahoo! That is great news - it sure does lighten the emotional load, doesn't it? (husband just passed his third round of Drs Board Exams)
Hope you are celebrating in style!

And about the sweater, speaking as a parent if it's too big don't worry. She'll wear it two falls/winters in a row, this is a very good thing to parents ;)

Posted by: Michele at November 19, 2006 4:42 AMCongrats again! I have the SAME feeling about the Javits Center. I never set foot in there again, and I got the heeby-geebies every time I saw it after the bar.

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Congratulations, Lawyer!

Hello,
I see you've already had 63 comments so you probably won't even read this, but I used to be a lawyer (before I became a Mum) so I send you my congratulations and very best wishes for your career! I bet you will never be involved in a prospective action of passing off concerning the Loch Ness monster, as I was. That's the delights of the Scottish legal system for you!
WAHOO!!! Congratulations...I know who to go to now when I need legal advice :)
(not related to posting translations to french patterns!)
Posted by: Julsey at November 19, 2006 4:39 PMWAHOO!!! Congratulations...I know who to go to now when I need legal advice :)

Posted by: Lora at November 20, 2006 7:34 AMCongratulations! With news that exciting, you'd think they'd send you a certificate or something with big fancy lettering. That little line of black type seems somewhat anticlimactic, don't you think?
Posted by: Sarah at November 20, 2006 8:12 AMLet me be the 78th person to say congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment so celebrate accordingly!

Posted by: Kirsten at November 22, 2006 9:32 AMCongratulations on passing the bar and knitting. Back in 1976 when I passed the bar I only knit in private and I stopped knitting when I started practicing law. I just didn't have the time. and, women's lib was new and liberated female lawyers didn't do that sort of women's work stuff......I'm so glad that we've made progress as a society so that female lawyers can knit in public!!
Posted by: gail at November 22, 2006 6:13 PMJust leaving a belated "Congratulations!" I can't imagine going to law school, nevermind try to pass the bar! Well done!

Posted by: Loanne at December 25, 2006 12:45 AMEvery body remembers that men's life seems to be expensive, however some people require money for various stuff and not every person earns big sums cash. Therefore to receive quick mortgage loans or just commercial loan will be good way out.
