The Rory Gilmore Pro/Con List

If you have never seen an episode of the television show, Gilmore Girls, let me first begin by saying that you have no idea what you are missing and should make every effort to catch an episode as soon as possible. The series actually ended a few years ago, but you can catch the re-runs on ABC Family and SoapNet. Okay, advertisement over. All you really need to know for right now is one of the main characters in the show is Rory Gilmore and she is known for making just about every major decision in her life by using a pro/con list. So what does that have to do with me? Brent and I have a big decision to make about our house. There is a very large window in our oldest daughter's room that has leaked for years. We have spent some major bucks in repairs to fix it, but none of them have worked. For about the last four or five months we have been working with a contractor to pinpoint exactly where the water is coming from, but have had no luck. Even so he has come up with some options that we can choose from that he thinks will solve the problem. There are three choices and they are basically expensive, really expensive, and you've got to be kidding me. You can probably guess which choice is my favorite. Yep. You are right. Its you've got to be kidding me. Whether or not I get you've got to be kidding me is yet to be determined. Enter the pro/con list. I am a terrible decision maker. But like Rory, I am pretty analytical and like to think about things from every angle so I am hoping that having the good and bad about each option on paper where I can see it will help. I will also be relying on good old fashioned prayer. I would definitely not turn down divine intervention right now. I'll let you know what we choose and if my theory on using a pro/con list is any good or not. I am hoping it is....otherwise its gonna take me forever to make up my mind.
