The State of the Swankivy: January 4 - 10
The week in review:
Books Read:
None finished, but am reading The Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd.
Songs Sung:
Seal: "Kiss From a Rose."
Photos Taken:
Mostly just a bunch from the San Francisco trip:
And then a few more from the adventure at Mandy's cafe:
Mandy at her counter at Community Cafe! Despite her protestations, she did not look gross from all the hard work! (Though my camera's pretty terrible and takes a lot of blurry shots.)
Derek and Victor enjoying the mysteries of Taco Bus.
Me at Taco Bus with Victor. He's perving on the statue behind me.

- I stayed in San Francisco and returned on Monday! More lovely times playing with my nephew Ash and hanging out with my mom, my sister P, and my brother-in-law Y.
- Our Super Shuttle ride home from the airport took over two and a half hours because they really screwed up organizing how many people they should be taking at once. Sad.
- Like most places, it was unusually cold this week, and it dipped into the 30s in Florida. That's, like, super rare. I spent a lot of time under my blanky and turned on the heat.
- I've been working on finishing up my mentee's book and I should be done by the end of the weekend probably.
- I'm trying to read more this year so I've jumped back into that.
- My publisher informed me that my book was discussed during a marketing meeting and they've decided to change the title! It's now been changed to THE INVISIBLE ORIENTATION: An Introduction to Asexuality. I like it better than my original title. ;)
- I went to Mandy's grand opening of Community Cafe with my friends Derek and Victor (and I hung out with Joy while we were there, plus Gary and Cynthia for some of it), and then Derek's car got towed. :P
- I was one of the authors featured on The Big Reveal this week, discussing whether we re-read books.
