Me! Me! Me! Pick me! Unless you’re getting tired of my face, in which case… no, you still have to pick me.

How soon can you get a sitter?

[bethanie-rose-berry]

I am in desperate need of a night out. One with a lot of wine, the odd glass of champagne, and dancing until I need someone to carry me home. Any volunteers?

[insertmyawesomeurl]

You celebrated in style, didn’t you?

[bethanie-rose-berry]

I always do. Always. Is there any other way to do it?

[itsloganjames]

Happy belated Fourth, Beth! I certainly hope you had a wonderful time celebrating, because I know I did!

[bethanie-rose-berry]

I had a wonderful time ~ Your brother and your perfect little niece joined me and it was fantastic. What did you do Lo?

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Matching outfits with my favourite little ray of sunshine. #summer #riverandme #summeradventures

[edwardroones]

Me? Plans? You’re right, you don’t know me at all, haha. Sounds good, lady. We’ll be there in a bit. Should I bring anything?

Yes, it’s a real thing, and it’s staring at me mockingly in the mirror everyday.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Well, you should bring yourself and your charming daughter. But I think that's all. I'm gonna leave the door open so let yourselves in; I'm just going to get changed.

You know this isn't something I'm going to believe until I see it. Flabs isn't a real thing.

[edwardroones]

Should we do something about that?

You, on the other hand, have a body to show for. I have flabs.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Perhaps we should. I get a rather excellent view of the fireworks from my balcony. Why don't you and River come and join me; unless you already had plans?

Flabs? Is that even a real thing? I don't believe it at all.

[edwardroones]

You know me too well, sunshine.

T-Shit and jeans? Nothing fancy. I mean, it’s not like anyone has anything to see. You, on the other hand…

[bethanie-rose-berry]

On the contrary, I don't think I know you nearly well enough Rooney Anderson.

Me on the other hand what?

[edwardroones]

Yes, good. Very good.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Making a post about wearing a bikini is like a guaranteed reaction from you. I think it's part of the reason I make them. What's your Independence Day attire look like?

[nomsinmytums-blog]

Firecracker Berry Margarita Floats. Recipe here. 

[bethanie-rose-berry]

The only appropriate attire for today is a stars and stripes bikini, flip flops and an ice cold beer. Happy fourth Darlings ~

Hello New York City!

[edwardroones]

You’re welcome, sunshine.

Yeah, sounds good. I get off at three, so you can drop by then and we can go eat and stuff. Yeah, that. Probably. Keep doing that and I’ll be broke by the time she makes me buy her own make-up.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Sunshine? I'm sure that's a new one. I like it.

Why don't I come over before you start work and we can have breakfast? I'll cook of course. Darling, you're going to be broke no matter what. Speaking as someone who was a teenage girl, spending Daddy's money is a talent we're born with.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Hello New York City!

[itsloganjames]

No chance. She’s my baby.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

What's she called? What breed?

Inside Bethanie's Head

Why does he always make me want to kiss him?

If I see him and River isn't there, I might just do that. Three dates over all the years we've known each other makes that definitely allowed.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Hello New York City!

[edwardroones]

Well, you walk around like a goddamn model without even trying. Also, I wish I had your hair.

The prospect of a ‘might’ gives me hope for a better tomorrow. Well, I’m free tomorrow after work. She’s free… well, all the time, I suppose. Unless she has some sort of kid agenda I don’t know. Otherwise, no, she’s not doing anything. I’m sure she’d love to see you. She talks about you, like, a lot. 

[bethanie-rose-berry]

You and your compliments Rooney ~ Thank you.

Well, why don't I take her tomorrow morning? We can do our girl thing and then we'll meet you after work, and you can spend time with my fabulous self. She does? I imagine it's because I let her wear my make-up and my shoes.

[bethanie-rose-berry]

Hello New York City!

[edwardroones]

Dragged in six-inch heels, then. But emerging as fabulously as ever.

Mm, you can say that. She’s doing alright. You know, enjoying summer vacation and whatnot. 

[bethanie-rose-berry]

You got the fabulous part right.

It's always nice to be missed. I might have missed you too. Good ~ I need to catch up with my favourite little munchkin. Tell me when the two of you are free.
