bye bye blogger!

i'm changing blogging platforms. i'm kinda miffed because while i like all the bells and whistles of wordpress, i can't for the life of me figure out how to change the platform on my domain. so, i'm losing missbrickabrack.com for a bit...just till i figure this out! so check me out over at missbrickabrack.wordpress.com! their layouts are a little nicer and more stylized then anything i could come up with on blogger! see you there!

lub is...

my boys in the snow

brew pubin'

while away (and every other time we're down there...) we go to the Ellicotteville Brewing Company for a meal and a pint. i wish i had taken a few more pictures, but i didn't so deal with it.

not one smile was normal that day...

i would probably die from alcohol poisoning if

i drank one of these, but the name was pretty awesome

i could eat a million of these

the grand caesar burger is amazing

new years with the brick a bracks

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...)!

road trip time!

this dog lives the life

being chauffeured to and fro...

listening to...

reading...

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.

making...

just finished all of my cookies for christmas...maybe i'll take some pictures...they might be all gone before then.

watching...

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.

just realized i watch too much tv. if i counts for anything...i do bring my ipad when i work out...

loving...

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!

looking forward to...

the new year and all the new beginnings it holds for us as a family!
