So it starts

Dear Blog - Today, the clock starts ticking. The laundry and dishes are done, groceries purchased and Craig is well on his way to Singapore. For the next two weeks, I will not cook, grocery shop, do the dishes or any laundry.

Here are the rules:

1. Microwaving is not cooking; you're cooking if you have to run the oven or stove top.
2. If I cannot eat what I microwave out of the same container in which it is heated, then I can't do it.
3. I can run the dishwasher; however, anything that has to be hand washed is off limits over the next two weeks.
4. I can only dine out two meals/per week. On my dime, that is.

My friend, Phil, tells me this is living like a guy. So, fine. That's what I'll name my blog. Do note, however, that I plan to take showers.
