The State of the Swankivy: January 18 - January 24
The week in review:
I'm late posting this but the comic wasn't late of course. :) It just took a while to process vacation photos.
Books Read:
None finished because I did not read at all on vacation, boo, but am reading The Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk Kidd.
Songs Sung:
Boston: "Amanda."
Photos Taken:
There is a full album of our road trip here, but here are my favorites!
Meggie (fisme_nasu) is shopping and she visited with her Muppet friends!
Cupcakes from Sugar in Charleston.
Meghan and me eating cupcakes early in the morning, still in our PJs.
Cara (cara), Jessie (skygawker), and Ammy, having Thai food with us!
Having Thai food with Meg and Liz (norabombay)!
It snowed while I was visiting DC. Here I am outside in the snow.
Meg in the snow!
Jessie, Cara, Meggie, and I all had candy necklaces.
Cara was drinking tea, using a really cute duck-shaped infuser!
Cara REALLY liked Meghan's guacamole. We had homemade enchiladas for dinner!
These are the cupcakes that Meggie and I got in Charlotte.
Here are the last cupcakes of my trip with Meggie, which we ate once we'd returned safely to Tampa.

- My book seems to have appeared on Amazon with some slightly off information. Pre-order is available, though. And its release date is set for September 16, 2014.
- Pitch Wars happened, with agents requesting my mentee's manuscript twice publicly and two more times behind the scenes. It has turned into something ridiculous from there and OMG.
- I went on a fantastic road trip with MEGGIE! We had cupcakes to celebrate--nearly every day, haha!--and got to see Meg's dad; DC area pals Jessie, Cara, Ammy, and Liz; and lots of cool scenery and places to chill. Literally. It was cold. I went out in the snow. And we had lots of great food. And, finally, plenty of girl time with each other--the friends-for-twenty-years super-duo! :)
- My trip to Princeton is set. I'll be there from Thursday, February 6, through the beginning of Saturday. My 90-minute talk on asexuality and inclusivity in the queer community will be on Friday.
- My budgy little nephew has gained a couple pounds since birth and is doing well. :)
- I got lots of nice presents for my birthday and I will soon do a holiday/birthday present post.
