five good things

1. I perfected the art of the homemade iced coffee this week and it made me feel like one million dollars. Which is, incidentally, roughly the amount of money I spend on iced coffee in any given summer.

2. This article about One Direction that’s also about fandom and womanhood and aging and life and was one hundred percent the best thing I read this week. Seriously, do yourself the favor.

3. How happy my nerdy husband was when the Rangers won their series the other night. I said to him, now you know what it’s like when I’m waiting to see if the characters on my show are going to kiss in the season finale. 

4. Tiny new home things: a place to put house keys, enough leftovers in the fridge to make a frittata, an azalea bush on the front steps.

5. Am headed to Dallas at this very moment for RT (and, let’s be real, to drink beers with fellow Fourteeners Julie Murphy and Natalie Parker). Come say hi if you’re around!
