The Official Rules

Steve and I have both concocted our official rules for our year-long adventure/torture... Although "official," they are OUR rules and we reserve the right to edit, remove or add to them at any time.

1. There will be absolutely no television watching in our house for one year beginning on 3/4/10.
2. If we visit another place that has a television on, we can watch it.
3. However, we cannot seek out other places to only watch tv.
4. We are allowed 1 movie per week. Beckett will receive a weekly choice, as will Steve and I.
5. We cannot watch television online. No Hulu or YouTube.
6. It is okay to read articles that make references to certain television shows or sporting events.
7. If on a long car trip, i.e. our 20 hour trip to Florida, Beckett (our 2.5 year old) is allowed to watch movies on a portable DVD player. Movies are also acceptable if any of us are extraordinarily sick.
8. If the Cubs or Bears make the playoffs, we can seek out televisions playing the games. Non-negotiable, people.

Yikes. Seeing them all laid out like this is making me a tad sick to my stomach. To curb the nausea, I'm gonna run to watch American Idol. (It is fruitless since I won't even get to see who makes the top 12.)
