Taken today in Millennium Park:

* * *
current book: Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way. Yes, seriously. I’m prepping for this.
current music: Am possibly going to Tift Merritt and/or Kathleen Edwards next weekend.
current socks: I busted out all the good Easter socks last week, including the ones with the chocolate bunnies with their ears eaten off. Right now, though, back to the stripey SmartWools, which are necessary to keep my feet warm. You can’t tell from the picture above, but it was actually snowing outside my 23rd-floor window. By the time it hit the ground, it was more of a wintry mix. Everybody’s favorite.





Do I actually see people without coats in that picture? Could there be signs of Spring?
It was just warm enough on Wednesday to get by without a coat if you were in the sun and walking around. And then it snowed again yesterday. I hate the Midwest sometimes.
who was giving away free hugs?
I have no idea—they didn’t have signs or t-shirts or buttons or anything indicating they were from a specific organization. I was scared to get close enough to ask because I really didn’t want a hug from a stranger.
