It was the first time in a year and a half that I was actually able to breathe And I had a check coming in and I didn't have to worry about money. And I told my husband, like, what are we doing? People that do what I'm doing have a bakery or they have a daycare. And my husband was like, why don't we open a bakery? And I just thought that was the most banana pants idea ever because what do we know?

He convinced me that we could do it. So we went to the bank and tried to get money. But it was 2009, and nobody was loaning any money.
