Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda

Since our return from Paris I have been trying to be frugal... key word "trying".  Every time I decide not to spend money is the exact time when pieces walk into my life that I can't give up.  Why is that?? Shall I dare to call it fate??  It's probably more along the line of wanting what you can't have. 

If my name were in the dictionary it would have that exact description beside...

Mary Mac  "wants what she can't have"

(along with creative, fun, mad skills on the dance floor, etc.)

I heard a saying today, If you love it and you can afford it then get it. 
There is nothing worse that having the coulda, shoulda, woulda feeling.

Believe me - I know from experience.

Miss Me??

Hello ~  I feel that I owe an explanation for my long absence.  Honestly, I thought about giving up blogging... it had become more of a morning job before I took off at 8:20 for my "real job" (you know the place you go to from 9-5 : M-F to bring in the bacon.)  Trying to find inspiration three times a week is hard work!!  I thought about focusing more on the Showroom I work for - but that felt like cheating.  I do participate in buying merchandise for the showroom but in reality it is someone else's dream come true.  Don't get me wrong... I LOVE my job.  It is amazing to work in the Design Industry for such wonderful visionaries with great taste and big hearts!  But this blog is supposed to be a way for me to express my own creative being.

That being said, I'm going to give Boddrick's Roost another go with better posts but less often.
