The current things that put a smile on my face are:
The mile-high chocolate cake at Claim Jumper.



This thing is HU MON GUS. Six of us split it between us and vibrated on the chocolate content, yum.
=====
Mardi Gras and their live web cam feeds of the parades and party going.
You can feel like you're there, especially if you have a Hurrican drink in hand.
=====
Finding green under Chicago's melting snow. Believe me, that was a lot of snow to melt. Fortunately, it melted slowly so we didn't have to deal with floods.
=====
Signing up new locations for my book events. The next one is March 6th.
=====
A new Aldi that opened within walking distance of my house.
=====
Let's not forget the entertaining mayorial quotes we'll soon be getting once Rahm officially takes the reigns in Chicago!
