Fellow Bloggers Help!!!

I was messing with my layout the other night trying to add a Christmas background. What have I done! When I go to customize instead of layout it says template and it won't let me add an outside template it looks all messed up and funky! Help I now have to live with this minima background that is so drab and boring! Help me please! I may just have to write an Ode to Blogspot!

Ode to the Chicken Pox

We thought we had you fooled!
two vaccines had she
On the way to the temple (6 hour drive in the middle of nowhere!)
"I itch, make it stop!" came the plee
Everytime she was touched
she would yell "THAT HURT MY POCK!"
the spots became more with
each minute on the clock
--True story!

OK, OK I am not a great poet! But, I am tired, we've had the chicken pox--42 in all! My poor little L! I am just hoping that M & M's vaccines hold up!!! Pray for me!
