Evette - You crack me up. For God's sake, eat the darn pizza and enjoy it. You're not going to put on 81lbs if the crust is a little thick!

Seriously, the book says "pizza shop style", so as long as it's not deep dish, you should be ok. Love ya, mean it!
Jenn - You've got your head back in the game. You'll be crossing those legs in no time.
Ulanda - Good luck w/FF and staying OP. I hope for your COD's sake there is a loss come Saturday. We're pullin' for ya!
Katie - As far as the "financial shift", it can't hurt to get the information and decide if this is something you really want to pursue. You can gather information, do market and location research and put together the basics of a business plan for free. I don't know where any money is coming from for me either, but I know this is something I'm going to find a way to try.
And on the culinary school thing, I just got a call from them. I was supposed to start 4/9 and go M,T,W from 6-10 for 18 mos. It's still starting 4/9, but it is M,T,W,Th from 6-10 for a year. I'm a little stressed at that one. But at least the weeks will fly by.
