hi ray,
it's good to see you "thinking outside of the box" and we would be happy to hook you up with a complimentary patent tracking account at
http://IPalert.com. Our system will notify of all status updates on your patent applications by email and via your login. You will know your situation 2 weeks earlier than waiting for the notices from the uspto and without the tediousness of checking the uspto website every weekday.
on a side note, we are tracking 10's of 1000's of patent applications (our own, those of others- both by category and keyword)- and the uspto is definitely clamping down hard. for every one patent application we see get approved, there are waaaaaaaay more getting rejected. there is no way to predict how the process will go & office actions require swift attention, so i highly recommend you take us up on the IPalert account.
the key on this invention will be if the examiners think the design is non-obvious. they may or may not or start asking questions. also patent #7,066,362 is a slotted thing for levelling a pizza box on a car seat but it has some claims for what looks like a handle and slots for napkins and drinks. hopefully your invention is a non-obvious one or a non-obvious improvement to the prior art. here's another patent on what looks at first glance like a universal carrying device with a focus on pizzas- 7,055,876.
