When you see this, quote Leo McGarry.

There are a lot that came to mind--the funny ones, especially; John Spencer was so brilliantly funny--but this is the one I went with. It's one of my top favorites. The whole scene is wonderful, a classic Leo moment, in my opinion: a little humor, some humility, and a lot of humanity.

LEO: Karen, what you did caused a lot of problems, for me, for the President, and for a lot of people we don't even know. But I'm not sure it wasn't a little bit brave. Did you like working at the White House?

KAREN: Yes, sir.

LEO: Okay. Then why don't you go unpack your carton and you and I will give each other a second chance?

Okay, I think we all know what I'm going to say here. Mainly: SamyayOMGSQUEEEEEEE!

But also: ( Transition )

In non-WW squeeing news, one of my worst fears was realized today when I was clipping Small Anne's nails. Yeah, you can already see where this is going. I clipped a tiny chunk out of her teeny little thumb. Oh, how she cried. It was the saddest thing in the world. I cried, too. She's okay now, and it hardly bled at all, but there's a little bit of skin missing.

Poor little Small Anne with her sucky, clumsy mama.

And, belatedly, ( Project Runway finale )

Re: last night's 'Scrubs': I don't hate Elliot anymore. Now I hate JD! Wishy-washy Fickle Fucker JD.

Yes, my loyalties can be tested this easily. I think I called him a 'fucker' about 30 times last night, which is about twice as much as I called Elliot a 'bitch' after what she pulled on him in the whole let's-have-sex-now-let-me-go-back-to-my-boyfriend stunt.

Of course, I still love JD. But I hate him too.

Bravo showed 'SGTE, SGTJ' last night. Oh, how I love love love this episode. That look on Sam's face at the very end still gets to me, every time.I can quote it practically word for word. I think it's one of my top 3 most-watched episodes, the others being 'Ellie' and probably 'Celestial Navigation.'

We went out with our friends Bran & Sus last Friday night, and Bran mentioned how much he liked the episodes he'd seen of 'The West Wing,' and did we know when it was on, because he'd like to catch up on it?

I said, "Wednesday nights at 8 on NBC, but don't bother. It's not worth your time anymore. Get Bravo and watch the first few seasons."

It's nice to make other people's decisions for them.

In other news, I'm wearing my new black linen skirt today, and guess what I discovered when I got to work? In the right light, you can see STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.

I guess Janie won't be leaving her desk anytime soon today.
