A Little Bit Laura.

I grew up thinking I'd always be

the Sally Rogers

the woman among men

commiserating in the writer's room

cajoling over drinks after hours

staying outspoken and independent

But as I got a little older

I found myself to be 

a bit more Sally Albright

hyper analyzing everything

remembering the details

and caring a lot more than I'd like to admit

And now as I sit here—

with you—

maybe I realize that while

the rest of the world sees me as

one of the Sallies

you help me to see that I'm also

a little bit Laura

And there's no shame in it,

not really.

It's just a bit of a surprise, is all.

And hey—

Watch out for that ottoman, would ya?
