Hello, sunshine!

The only thing that is making studying bearable today is the amount of sunshine that's streaming in from the living room windows. Can it be that springtime is trying to make its way to MKE?  

I have to take a bit of a blogging hiatus because the next several days have to be devoted to full time studying. In just about two weeks, I'll be on my way back from Madison, ready to celebrate being done with another bar exam...we should start stocking up on wine now in order to adequately prepare for that. 

On tonight's menu: shrimp étouffée with red beans and rice, very appropriate for Mardi Gras! The kitchen smells so good because we did a lot of our prep work earlier, when Andrew was back home on a break before heading back to campus for class tonight. 

Now I just have to make it through a few more hours of studying before dinner, then it's back to the note cards and outlines yet again...

But if you're looking for something fun to watch for a few minutes (which I inevitably am, after every few pages of notes!), check out Paperman, one of the animated short's that's nominated for an Oscar this year. It's a sweet and lovely distraction.
