The Next Step

So I've done it. I'd done something crazy, bold, and adventurous. For me, anyway.

I've dropped out of school!

Before everyone starts screaming at me, let me explain. I have been looking into opening a bakery-slash-specialty-foods-store, and I have concluded that it will take me a WHILE to put together a business plan. So this semester, I will learn more about the culinary arts while I work on the business plan and getting a business loan. However, we have no money for culinary school, which is pretty pricey. So, I will rent culinary textbooks from Chegg.com and teach my damn self in my kitchen, while Ari is napping and after she has gone to bed. Also, the local high school is opening their new stadium on August 24, and this year there will be tailgating in the parking lot before the games. So I am going to contact the school and see if I can get permission to set up tables and hawk tailgating food before the games. Hopefully people will like my food and I can put my name out there and drum up some interest in the community, which would certainly help me get a loan, especially if I went to a bank in the town of Waller, where the school in question is. Who knows, maybe I could get hired on to cater a couple of Sweet Sixteens or quinceneras.

Stay tuned to see whether this turns out to be a brilliant move or a disasterous mistake.
