You're the One That I Want!

Last night was amazing. My youngest was in another drama production and boy was it fun!

Squid (No, I'm not that mean.....it's her nickname....really!) participated in Willie Wilson's TAG production of Grease!

That's right greasers......Danny, Rizzo, Kenickie, Sally, Frenchy & Marty were back on stage live last night at the AMBS theatre.

Who did Squid play....well Marty Maraschino of course!

I have to say that I knew she loved to act, but after last night, I will never say that half heartedly. That girl was so animated and......just wow..... fantastic kiddo!

yes.....I'm a proud mama...can't help it!

As I watched her perform, I was completely mesmerized. How in the world did she snap her head with that sassy attitude and not get whiplash? I think I gave her too much chocolate on Easter....

We were also very excited for her because she managed to land a solo called Freddie My Love (very cute song - I believe it's from the Broadway version of Grease). Needless to say, she practiced every single day and knew the song inside and out. So, when she got ready to sing on stage.....we all held our breath. She was great. Although she did get her lines mixed up a little, she kept singing and ended perfectly with a beautiful note. Her poor brother was so nervous for her, he couldn't even watch....in fact he wanted to leave during her solo but my husband wouldn't let him.

I have to say that ALL the actors and I mean it....ALL of them did an amazing job. They all knew their lines....they sang beautifully and the dance moves were perfect! Watch out Broadway....we've got some up and coming stars!!

I'm a total Grease lover and I was bopping in my chair singing along.....it was a wonderful production.

What a Wonderful Day.....

Easter Sunday was perfect....well, almost perfect. Unfortunately, my hubby wasn't able to be home with us, but we still got to spend the day with family.

My sister came up with her family from Pennsylvania while other cousins of ours drove over from Connecticut.

The day started pretty early.....and although I was still groggy, I somehow managed to get a pretty nice shot of the tulips that I bought.

Now, some of you may know that I was totally not prepared for this day....I usually have my menu planned out weeks in advance, but because I have been so tied up with my blog (I absolutely love blogging!!) I forgot to plan my menu until late Saturday night.

Lucky for me, my sister and I discussed some possibilities and hello.....here is a sampling of what we had for Easter Brunch.

Let me just say that we stuffed ourselves....we were completely and utterly stuffed! Not only did we have quiche, asparagus, ham, chicken salad finger sandwiches (my daughter's request) to name a few items, but we also had Caroline's very tasty potato salad with mustard dressing and Jen's yum-o-licious coconut pie.

I literally couldn't move.....or breathe....ugh....need to loosen the buttons!

After awhile, we gathered the kids up for the Easter egg hunt before they revolted.

Ready.
Set.
Go!

Oh!

.....watch out for Kikster-Boy.....he will take your eggs if you're not careful....

All in all, I think it was a pretty awesome day.

We ate. Hung out with family and....

Oh! Guess who's home!

Ok, I've got to go.....my hubby and I have a date tonight to watch the much anticipated Game of Thrones!

But before I run off, let me just say that I am very grateful and thankful for all the people in my life and I hope that you all had a wonderful and blessed day.

And for those who celebrate.....Happy Easter.

Happy to join Marvelous In My Monday today

{Blog Design Tips} Author Comment Section - Color Change

Do you want to add some color to your author comment section? Do you want a background color? In this tutorial, I will show you how I changed the color of my author comment box on my blogger blog to a different color.

So this is what I did:


1.  Go to your Template section and click on Edit HTML

2.  Click Expand Widget Templates

3.  Find (use command F on mac)

</body>

4. Copy and paste the following code right above it

<script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js'/>
<script>
$(function() {
function highlight(){
$('.user.blog-author').closest('.comment-block')
.css('border', '1px solid #FFF0FF')
.css('background','#FFF0FF url("http://www.blogblog.com/1kt/transparent/white80.png")')
.css('color', '#444444')
.css('font-size', '12px')
.css('padding', '10px');
}
$(document).bind('ready scroll click', highlight);
});
</script>

Line 6: Change border color by altering #FFF0FF
