You will perish of fits. Repeat this to yourself:

my way. Things can work out even...."
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

It’s something of a miracle that I haven’t joined a cult (no, LLL doesn’t count). You can pretty much talk me into, and out of, anything. Going to Boston Pizza last night and being faced with the menu the height of a toddler caused excrutiating agony, and at the end, I chose the thing I’ve had the last 5 times we were there. Because not only do I suck at making decisions, I’m risk averse too. Better to go with the safe thing.
Unfortunately, when you’re buying a home, you can’t just play it safe and pick the one you had last time.
But you know the real kicker?
Though I’m bad at making decisions, Roo is worse.
While I dither, Roo is dithering squared.
Put the two of us in a room with some big decisions involving colossal amounts of money (yup, Vancouver has the most expensive real estate in Canada) and we freeze like bunnies crossing a field with hawks swooping overhead. We burrow and lie with blankets over our heads.
Good house. Bad house. Buy. Run away. Trust engineers. Engineers are idiots. Engineers are not idiots but they’re not that good at making accurate dollar predictions. Every engineering project runs over cost. Good house anyway. Property nice. Money insane. Who cares about money. Money is important. We’ll end up broke and living under a bridge. Our parents would rescue us. And on, and on, and on. Only some chemical interventions kept us from making a total muck up of this.
We’d be ripe pickings for the nice Mormon men who come knocking on doors. Except we can’t decide which truth we believe. We’d dither so long that even these patient souls would leave.
Which is why we don’t have religion.
But I think we have a house.

Have you ever thought about flipping a coin? *g*
Good luck with these hard decisions - I know it'll turn out well, just like you said.

Loved the post. Perfect for a much too cold Alberta morning (too cold for Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses to show up at the door).
I hope you *do* have the house : )
Too funny. I take great comfort in knowing we're not the only functionally indecisive family around. Even down to the lack of religion -- you nailed it!
From one flip flopper to another (and one who is living, at least until we change our minds again, in a house with foundation 'problems'): "That's what insurance is for."
Good luck!
