Flowers-less yard

I am not sure how many people know this, but I have a very hard time making decisions.  It can be a really tough decision or a minor one.  For instance, poor Marc gets so tired of always having to decide everything.  We have even fought about it before; one night when we were headed to dinner; we couldn't decide where to eat.  Marc told me that I had to decide.  He ended up pulling the car into a parking lot and we sat there until I finally decided on some place to eat.  Anyway, you get the point, now getting back to the story at hand... This weekend Marc went on a hunting trip.  The guys have had this planned for months.  I wanted to surprise Marc with some landscaping/flowers in his front yard.  I arrived at Home Depot and started looking at all the options.  To most sane people, this would be great, the more options the better.  To me, this meant I was about to feel an overwhelming sence of ANXIETY.  There are so many options, colors, height, sun light, care, annual, biannual ect. ect.  Knowing myself so well, I thought it would be best if I just walked down each aisle looking at the flowers.  I told myself, I didn't have to make any choices right now.  After doing this "looking" technique 3 times, I thought who am I fooling, I need some help.  I called my mom & dad, (Yes, I am 26 years old and still call my parents for decisions, but at least I recognize that I have issues!).  Unfortunately, since they weren't with me, they also weren't much help.  After 1 hour in the nursery section, I figured I better wait until Marc got home so he could help me pick them out. God bless Marc for wanting to marry this "can't make a decision to save her life" kinda girl.  I am very lucky!
