Was minding my own business watching the news when I saw a commercial for bouqs.com?? If any of you decide to order flowers to your door this holiday season, or any season really, instead of simply coming inside my store? I’ll find a way to put you on Santa’s naughty list. And all of the other lists. Let me give you fresh flowers that haven’t been stuck in cardboard packaging the entire day, please!

Yeah, I saw. Burt put them in a vase. Thanks, you really didn’t have to do that but they kind of made the blow of getting older a little easier. 

Of course! I’m just glad you got them, hopefully they brightened up the shop a little more. Auto parts and cars sound absolutely unbright in my own opinion. Daises are one of the most bright and sunshine-y.

I definitely didn’t have to do anything, but like I said-- some peoples birthdays are harder to forget. Don’t worry, I’ll always be older than you! At least there’s that, right?

I’m sure you could find some time to leave it for a while. I mean, I wouldn’t know firsthand how running an entire business is, but a couple days without you wouldn’t like, make it crash and burn, would it? If so, you might wanna hire some better help (I say that jokingly, please don’t take offense!).

Oh yeah, it really is. I wonder if people that seem like they’ve got it together actually do or if they’re just faking it and hoping for the best like the rest of us.

I actually don’t really have a lot of help! I do most of it. I do all of it, actually. I think the right person could definitely take over if they had proper instructions. Some plants are super fragile, of course-- super sensitive to light and over-watering or underwatering.. and there’s the whole skill of putting the bouquets together you gotta learn that you really can’t do too far in advance.. Jesus, I’m really never getting a vacation!

I think everyone’s faking it, even if it’s just a little bit. 

[maxhudss]

Officially nearing my mid 30′s and very much unsure how I feel about it. Who wants to buy me a round of birthday beers so I can go back to ignoring this existential crisis?

[reagantherose]

I sent a bouquet of birthday daisies over to Burt’s shop. Some peoples’ birthdays you just can’t forget, I suppose. Hope you like them! And Happy Birthday, of course.

Yeah, I definitely don’t recommend going this late in the year. I should have gone earlier, but it wasn’t like this was a planned trip. Just kind of spur of the moment. Having a fire was nice though, until I had to put it out so I didn’t wake up to a burned down campsite. And dumb me, didn’t bring a generator for a space heater or anything. I really should have. 

Is anybody really ready to take on life? I haven’t felt ready for that in my entire 26 years of life.

Spur of the moment trips are always the best ones! I wanna go on a spur of the moment trip. It’s just really hard to leave my shop, or I’d be spurring it up all the time! No body heat soruce besides your fire? Now you’re just learning how to do better next time!

No, now that I think about it-- you’re exactly right. Life’s a trip.

You know, it’s kind of amazing what 3 weeks away can do for you. I went on a little bit of a journey, and I’m not like a camping sort of person at all, but it was actually really nice to be out in the middle of nowhere for a while… until it got too cold, then I had to get a hotel, but you know. Same difference.

[reagantherose]

I love camping! Not as much when it’s freezing, but nothing is more cozy and sweet than curling up in front of a fire in the great outdoors. Especially when you’re somewhere so picturesque and all of the stars are out? Ugh, I need to go camping again. 

Glad you’re back though! Hopefully you’re feeling super recharged and ready to take on life!

MAX: i know

MAX: when i don’t want to feel things i usually hit the bar

REAGAN: I was about 90 percent sure I wouldn't have to talk to him for the rest of my life, to be honest. Which makes me feel rude.

REAGAN: Yeah? I usually curl up in my bed with a bottle of wine and try to invest myself in shitty reality television and the comfort of warm pajamas.

MAX: there’s no supposed to’s, Rosebud.

MAX: you get to feel all the feels as the kids say

REAGAN: There's not? I mean, he's my dad. You know?

REAGAN: I already feel all the feels, Max. It's exhausting and I would like to not feel them this time.

[reagantherose]

TEXTS 📲 REX

MAX: Yeah, as far as fires go, they're the top

[...]

MAX: wanna talk about it?

REAGAN: I don't really know, to be honest.

REAGAN: Gotta figure out how to feel first. Or I guess how I'm supposed to feel? I don't really know

[reagantherose]

felipe--lopez​:

Yeah but I think whoever it was came out better off because that outfit was way too small for me.

To each their own, right? It’s been so long since I last saw it but remember that movie. I like it.

Probably. It’s hard to imagine a lot of men in a tiny cheerleading costume. But more power to them, honestly. I’m all for it. What was your costume originally?

Exactly! That’s how I like to see it. I remember when it first came out, I was pretty into it. More nostolgic than anything!

[reagantherose]

julianagraceanderson​:

Most definitely! I wasn’t about to get frostbite for the sake of a Halloween costume.

Good to hear! I’m sure it’s happened before, unfortunately! Halloween makes people crazy. When I was a kid, someone would always kick over the carved pumpkins in our front yard!

[julianagraceanderson]

Uhh.. If someone has a cheerleader costume, or finds one, I’d like it back please. 

[reagantherose]

I’ll keep an eye out. For your sake though, I hope you wore tights on Halloween? My legs are getting goosebumps just thinking about the short skirt. 

[reagantherose]

felipe--lopez​:

I went to an after party so definitely did and since my costume disappeared, I think it’s safe to say she didn’t go home naked.

A little costume switch, I like it. 

I’m glad you had a good night, though. After parties definitely aren’t my thing-- I went home as soon as I left the community center and watched Halloweentown. Which.. makes me sound lame, but I was super cozy!

[felipe--lopez]

Did anyone lose a cheerleader outfit? Because I’m pretty sure I don’t own one… 

Also I might or might not have stolen someone’s wig last night so if you were platinum blonde… I’m sorry?

[reagantherose]

Oh, goodness. You really had fun last night, didn’t you? Nope-- not mine. I’m just hoping this poor person managed to make it to their ride with something covering them up.

TEXTS 📲 REAGAN + EVAN

Evan: I’m saying it as your brother who loves you.

Evan: Whatever, I’m tired of you and Marley bashing on Dad.

Evan: He’s still my dad no matter the mistakes he made and I’m going to give him another chance.

REAGAN: And I love you too, but I can handle my own grudges, I promise.

REAGAN: You were just a kid, Evan. I was 16. I had 16 years and then he left. Just like that. I'm not going to praise him for anything.

REAGAN: Good on you. I just can't, okay? Besides, do you know how awkward a family dinner would be? It's been 16 years.

[reagantherose]

TEXTS 📲 REAGAN + EVAN

Evan: Holding a grudge isn't good for you.

Evan: And you know what? We survived, yeah, it was hard but guess what, we're alive and healthy and we didn't need him.

Evan: He does care, if not he wouldn't be back, or he wouldn't send us cards on out birthdays. He does what he can.

REAGAN: Please don't tell me what's good for me. I'm a 33 year old woman, Evan. I can figure it out.

REAGAN: You're exactly right. We didn't need him. We still don't need him.

REAGAN: There's got to be a reason he's back. No way is he here just because he misses us. He's had 16 years to come back if he missed us. And birthday cards don't mean shit when they're from someone who walked out. Just saying.
