Lazy weekend for me!

mojosmomI didn't do a whole lot this weekend. It's been a bit too cold to go wandering about.
Yesterday, I just ran a few errands, and went to my branch library for a book exchange. The idea was to bring 1-5 books and take home up to as many as you brought. However, the librarian running the exchange wasn't too keen on dealing with leftovers, so she was encouraging people to take as many books as they liked. As it was, I brought four and left with four, plus one book I checked out. I also made an Inter-Library Loan request for this book. We'd seen it at the Art Institute Museum Shop, and it looked very good, except for the price. ($99.95! Thank goodness for libraries.)
Today I denuded the tree, and took it down to the alley. I've boxed up all the decorations, but still need to take them down to my storage locker.
I've been reading a bunch, mostly light reading. I finished My New Orleans (first book of the new year), read an old Margaret Maron, Shooting at Loons (one of the Deborah Knott series), which for some reason had escaped me when it first came out, and The Lost Art of Gratitude, Alexander McCall Smith's latest Sunday Philosophy Club book. Now I'm working on Talking mysteries : a conversation with Tony Hillerman, which I'll likely finish tonight, as it's quite short.
Next week, I have the trial advocacy seminar that I always coach at, so I'll need to pick out my bus reading.
There's an Elia Kazan festival at the Gene Siskel Film Center, so I may go to a couple this week.
