last new years was kinda anti-climactic. dinner with friends. attempting to stay up till midnight. blah. this year the work gods smiled down on me and i was awarded for all my hard work (watch it...) with three days off! cue choirs of angels singing... so we went to mr. brack's family's cottage in Ellicotteville, NY! it was such a lovely vacation filled with sleeping late, staying in pjs all day, learning to froth milk for hot chocolates, catching up on movies, and playing in the snow! and since we had to cross the boarder, we had no access to wifi or cell phones! i highly recommend that everyone has an electronics holiday every now and then (she says to the people reading her blog on the interwebs...)!</div>

<h4>
reading...</h4>
<br />
just finished the first two books in veronica roth's divergent series. it's like harry potter + 1984 + hunger games. couldn't put it down. i read both books in less than 8 hours. straight.<br />
<br />
<h4>
making...</h4>
<br />
just finished all of my cookies for christmas...maybe i'll take some pictures...they might be all gone before then.<br />
<br />
<h4>
watching...</h4>
<br />
big sci-fi kick right now. re-watching doctor who from 9 onwards. can't wait for the christmas episode. (not to mention the downton abbey christmas episode...eek...) throwing in a little supernatural for good measure. just watched the first episode of glee again. it's nice to remember why i started to love that show in the first place. and crazy to see how much everything has changed. also watching homeland. great show, but unless you watch them consecutively, i think you'd get bored.<br />
<br />
just realized i watch too much tv. if i counts for anything...i do bring my ipad when i work out...<br />
<br />
<h4>

<br />
that mr. brack is home for three week! i just finished my last exam so i'm looking forward to spending time with family and having a wonderful christmas break!<br />

ok, because i'm the biggest nerd in the entire world, i planned a war of 1812 excursion for my family! yup. i think history is fun. i can admit that. my step sister had learned all about laura secord this year in school and was so excited to see where she lived and where she travelled that i had to plan an outing for all of us! and it was such a blast! everyone had such a great time and some of our legs hurt a lot the next day...!</div>

dad and i went to boston this summer for our annual daddy-daughter trip and it was wicked good (as the name of the post suggests...). i spent the week before had watching good will hunting (and other movies staring matt damon or ben affleck...) to prepare for the trip...it didn't really help, however i am now pretty proficient at the classic boston accent! (so in warning, some of my spelling might look wrong, but it's use phonetic...it's more fun that way...) dad is a big fan of the guided tour, so we took the orange and green trolleys around the city and learned so much more about boston than we would have just trucking ourselves! (look up the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster">boston molassacre</a> if you don't believe me)</div>

my mom has always had the most beautiful garden. i, however, did not get any of these abilities. at all. i am very skilled however at overwatering, forgetting about and consequently killing every plant i've ever had in my possession. so i take pictures of pretty flowers, that aren't dying, in my mom's garden. that i can do at least...i don' know what any of these plants are called all i know is that they look pretty darn good...</div>

sometimes when i'm on pinterest, i notice how much i have in common with other pinners and i just know if we met in real life, we'd be best friends. creepy enough for ya?...awesome. anyways...that's how i felt when i walked into mr. brack's cousin's wedding! i was that lunatic that walkes around all night with her phone in front of her face. just be glad i didn't bring the big guns...then it would have become all kinds of annoying and embarrassing (for me, because there were professional photographers there, and for my family, because i would be THAT relative...)</div>

does that sound weird? cos it really wasn't. it was delicious! and super simple which is probably the best part! i took a whole wheat pita and sprinkled it with some cinnamon and ginger and a little brown sugar, followed by a few tablespoons for milk chocolate chips (i'm sure your could used semi sweet, but i like the sweetness...), add some fresh berries (i used blue berries, raspberries and sliced strawberries), sprinkle on some unsweatened coconut flakes, and drizzle some melted peanut butter (i melted it to have equal distribution...!) Bake it at 350 until the chocolate melts and the pita is crispy! Enjoy!</div>

<i>climbing the stairs by margaret powell</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
a continuation to her first memoir, this is a great peak into the daily life of a servant in the 1920's in london. written when she was in her 60's, mrs. powell is a wonderful story teller. i have to admit that i love downton abbey and edwardian england, so i can't wait to get into this one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>outlaw by susan johnson</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
everyone need a little smut in their summer time. and since i'm almost done all four seasons of true blood i gotta get my kicks somewhere. the woman at chapters has a special button that says she's the queen of romance and she told me this one was a page turner. i'm interested to see what happens between the 'infamous laird ravensby' and his captive elizabeth graham. all i know is there is a half naked man wearing a kilt on the front...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i'm really looking forward to cooking the old fashion way with buttermilk and lard...mixed in with the recipes are photos of cute little old ladies and hilarious quotes like 'don't wear dark lipstick. when it shows up on a man's collar, everyone is going to know it's yours.' thanks grams...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
this isn't really a novel but i think home economics is a lost art. i wanna learn how to make my home more welcoming, how to wash and fold laundry properly (and how to hang it on the line...) don't get me wrong, i love my technology (i'm embarrassed by all the shit around me right now...computer, iPad, camera, tardis usb port...) but i'm really looking forward to stripping it down a little bit...</div>

<i>birdsong by sebastian faulks</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i'm starting to see a theme in the books i've picked out...this one is set in world war i and theres a love triangle and 'unprecedented horrors' and the added benefit that the bbc made it into a miniseries that i downloaded for when i'm done the book!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>then again by diane keaton</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
diane keaton is one of those actor that i've always enjoyed but was never like super into (i want to watch annie hall, but i find woody allen obnoxious...) she writes about her mother and the journals she kept (85 in total). it's amazing to be able to glimpse into someone's private thoughts and to see the daily, little things that might seem so unimportant to most but important enough to them to write it down...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
a groupie in the 60's and 70's this is the story of her travels and wheelings and dealing with musicians like mick jagger, robert plant and don johnson to name a few.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
this is for sure the odd ball of the group. a science fiction novel with an alternate history twist. a man saves the titanic from sinking and thus changes history so that america never enters world war i. then it gets weirder...jfk's nephew lives in present day america which is controlled by the germans on the east coast and the japanese on the west. crazy stuff...kinda stoked </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
so, hopefully that will take me through the next three months. since we're buying a house this summer i have to find something that i can do that won't cost me a bunch of money. so stay tuned for a lot of posts! happy summer reading! </div>

i made more cookies! and they are the most yummy things i've ever tasted! it was nice for a change to try something that didn't have chocolate in it, while still being savoury and sweet and truly delish! and i can't believe how easy they were to make...one box of lemon cake mix, lemon juice, lemon zest (which i added...), some eggs and oil, roll in powdered sugar and bake for 7 minutes! check out the recipe by clicking on the first picture!</div>
