Breadboxes and Math. Stacy asked me why my Blog is called “Bigger than a Breadbox”. Truthfully, I always said that if I had a band (not going to happen, trust me) I’d call it “Bigger than a Breadbox”. Someone beat me to it, but it was always a thought. So, it seemed natural to use the name for my blog. Although, Presbytera Elizabeth says that it is indicative of a comfort in my self and body, and that is certainly something I want to emulate, so I like that too. Ironically (to me, anyway) I keep my bread in the refrigerator.

Math – Ok, I know someone out there will know this answer. How do you solve a question that says, “John and Mary live 50 miles away from each other. They both leave at 5pm, driving towards each other. John drives at 35 MPH, Mary at 40 MPH. What time do they meet?” Xavier asked me that, and I don’t know the answer.

Early Spring – it is really starting to feel like Spring here – flowers are blooming, the skies are rainy and then sunny, and the temperature is fluctuating wildly (I hear talk of snow early this week). I guess, since it is an early Lent, it makes sense that it will be an early Spring

Things I like about the new Blogger:

1 - Seeing exactly where the photo will be.
2 - The ease of putting in links.
3 - The neat preview thing that Simone
has, but I haven't tried to put it on my Blog yet.

Things I don't like about the new Blogger:

1 - Half the time, it takes me ten trys to log in while commenting ,and I lose my comment.
2 - Parts of my posts disappear and links go odd places
3 - No matter how many returns between lines I put in, it scrunches up all my lines.

I'm still not convinced - any tricks I'm missing?

Forgiveness Sunday - Yesterday, I had the opportunity to look each person I worship with in the eye and ask their forgiveness at Vespers – it is the traditional way we enter into Lent. While I blogged about it last year (see the fourth post down) I really must commend to you Molly’s excellent article (and, Belladonna - I did check the link, sorry about that again)

Knowing how judgemental and abrupt I can be, and how easy it is for me to overlook the feelings of those around me, I ask each and every one of you to forgive me for those things I have done to offend.
