That's when wit and sarcasm cover up her failing.The Ciraccos live in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania suburb of Broomall. They met in high school and have been together ever since. Amelia will grudgingly admit she's not sure about many things in life but surrendering her virginity to her future husband wasn't one of those things.Amelia's professional life is replete with anecdotes of a loving family, engaging neighbors, testosterone-filled bosses and co-workers under tremendous pressure to perform in an atmosphere that is sometimes comical and other times too tense for normal people.
