I was always pretty good at math in school. Okay, perhaps I'm downplaying that a bit. I was one of those students who went and competed in MathCounts and the state Trig competition and such.
However, I always stunk at Geometry. Not like bad grades stunk...I still got good grades in it, but I hated every minute of it. Postulums and theorems and proofs...drawing countless cirles and triangles and angles and lines. I knew that I didn't want to be an engineer or architect, so I didn't really see the point in any of it.
Until last night when I printed off umpteen thousand pictures of the Pea's announcements (and that's a whole other side story of why my child is over 3 months old and I'm just now getting around to sending out announcements. Let's just say that I learned my lesson in the old "I'll just make my own announcements" department. Crafting is to be used strictly for recreation and gifts at this point.) Turns out, dividing a 4X6 picture yields not two 2X3's but two 2X4's. Sigh. And duh. So now, the project that WILL NOT END has become the project that WILL NOT END NEVER EVER NEVER NEVER EVER.
Must go and crop a few more pictures.

i'm still trying to wrap my brain around dividing a 4x6 yields two-2x4's. i guess i'll need to see it on paper. . .and maybe the theorum involved too :).
Dang it! I did the math wrong again. It yields two 2X3's. I need sleep.
erggghhh...3x4's.
