"Do me a favor. Next time your mind leaves, tell it to bring back a pizza."

Everything I've learned about myself I've learned from pizza. OK. Or at least everything I've learned about myself today. I learned:

1. I'm very susceptible to the power of suggestion! Some pizza joint came by with their menus and co-workers started talking about pizza. We haven't had take-out or bake-at-home pizza for ages. Hard to believe, I know, especially since it used to be a weekly staple for us. But, all of the sudden, pizza was on my dinner radar.

2. I'm so not a pizza aficionado! If Little Caesar's can make a pepperoni pizza cheaper, I'm there. That said, I do like me a white pizza from Barro's and thin crust veggie from Pizza Hut - with coupons. We also eat by the slice at Ray's sometimes. But I've also been known to eat Totino's (the dollar store version of pizza from Wal-Mart) back in our college days. I'm not a persnickety pie purist by any stretch.

3. I'm cheap! I will only pick up pizzas. Only once have I ever paid for delivery: we were on vacation, we were with friends, we succumbed to fatigue of body and mind, and we paid WAY too much!! I vowed never again! So, tonight I drove what felt like forever (8 miles roundtrip) to get my white pizza from Barro's.

Yay for Pizza!!!
