Super Sad

As some of you know we went to Florida for some R and R with Dad and Venice. We left last Friday and our plane was at 7 in the morning so we had to leave the condo at about 5. anyway to make a long story short we left our cameras at the condo. and every time we have called the company to see if the have found it we are just given the run around.

For instance i called that morning and asked the guy if the room had been cleaned and he told me no and didn't give me anymore information and practically hung up on me. being Sad about the whole thing i started to cry and so Patrick got on the phone and they told him that the room had been cleaned and that we would have to talk to housekeeping the next day. I don't think a room like that can be cleaned in 2 minutes. And so the next day we called and housekeeping doesn't have it. Patrick filled out a Lost and Found report over the phone. But i really doubt that they really do anything. They just haven't been really nice about the whole thing. I'm not really sure what to do now.

So all in all I'm a little depressed about the whole thing. I really could care less about the cameras themselves all i really care about were the pictures and the videos. I no longer have video of Audrey playing in the ocean for the first time. Anyway....I'm making my self feel bad. I'm stopping now. I'll keep you updated about everything.

Loves,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

Check it!

The other day i decided to change the look of the blog. Maybe get a new background image and a new header. But I couldn't find one that i was absolutely in love with. There were none that i could see that screamed Patrick, Elizabeth and Audrey Spencer.

I was looking around at the various blog template sites. I searched www.thecutestblogontheblock.com, www.pimp-my-profile.com and www.bloggerbuster.com. Blogger buster is where i found my last template and i really like that one. But, again, it was time for a change but i wanted to keep my 3 column template. I've really come to enjoy the 3 columns and didn't want to give it up. So in my search i came across this article, at Blogger buster, titled "Creating a three column (or a wide 2 column) canvas" (here is the link http://www.bloggerbuster.com/2008/01/creating-three-column-or-wide-two.html). It was instructions on how to rewrite the HTML from a 2 column template and make it a 3 column.

So I tired it. I created a fake blog to test my designs so that i wasn't ruining my real blog and started playing with it. After i successfully completed that i found another article and another teaching me how to essentially design my own blog. After 3 or 4 lessons. I felt I had it down and started experimenting on my own. But you have to keep in mind about 3 years ago i had to take a web design class for my major. It was a required course. So i have had experience with writing HTML. I just needed a refresher. But, I don't claim to be an expert. At most i am advanced novice.

So what you see is what i created. I made the background and put it in. I chose the color scheme. (I love it). I made the choice to have dotted lines surrounding my side bars and main area. I went in and made it so that larger dots were separating the different post. I decided to have my post titles uppercase. I made the lady bugs and put them in. They were small changes but they were my changes. Now i have a blog that is completely mine. I designed it. You may not like it. But i love it.

I think I'll keep experimenting.

Just one of those small victories.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey
