So I couldn't figure out how to put this on Facebook so I gave up and decided to put it on here!
This is to Christopher Daniel Montes, person who taught me the meaning of fun, and how to relax. I can't wait to watch Planet Earth with you again.
Happy 21st Birthday Chris! Enjoy it in England!
I had spent probably 14 hours with the boys, UGH! I look like death. Maybe I can send another one when I go out with Jamie and I look better!
but anyway this is for Chris... Happy Birthday!

UPDATE ON THE LITTLE BOYS
Hey Everyone!
The kiddos and I are having a fun summer. So far we've been out on the boat, at the pool, and riding around the block. Yeah, we have our lazy days of video games and T.V. Yesterday was a marathon of The Suite Life so Cameron wouldn't go outside. haha.
Some of the issues I'm facing are my level of patience and nudity. I know that the boys seem older, but B has to be convinced to not be in his underwear. He'll also get dressed and when I turn around his shirt is missing. Is this a boy thing? Establishing your body? I've started forcing him to put his shirt on and keep it on since school is getting closer. Wouldn't want him running around first grade naked... kinda awkward!
Oh Cam. He tests my patience every day. He's pushing the boundaries of control, humor and independence. Such as is I tell him he needs to do something he says "I'm in the middle of something!" Or he says "So..." with a shrug if I give him an explanation for doing something. OH I HATE IT. But hey, he's growing up and "getting to that age" He's 9 going on 16. :(
Okay Pictures!
Cameron and Cinnamon the Guinea Pig!!!
Cinnamon!!! He's so cute!
We found mushrooms in the yard. I thought this one was cool. It was HUGE! It's hard to tell that the grass is actually pretty high in this photo.
Cameron hanging off the railing on the back porch. If you look close he has chocolate all over his face.
Anyway. Work is awesome. I can't wait to go out this weekend though! <3 Work Hard, Play Harder!

The Web
Okay so I got bored at a restaurant and was still contemplating my relationship status with the men of the world when I realized.
My GOD. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE JUST AS SLUTTY AS I AM! Who cares if I have a good time!?
Now this may seem mean, or rash. All of my friends really aren't "Sluts" but we do all share the same sense of female freedom to be sexual. Which is totally okay. If men can use us, we can use men. Right? Well maybe not. Especially since I have a clingy nature that causes me to crush on anyone who looks my direction (who looks good). Yet there is nothing wrong with a happy sexual desire often fed by too much goose. Also, some of these are a stretch since I was trying to get as many of my direct cohort on the web as possible.
Now just for explanation: Solid lines represent actual physical relationship. Whether it be making out or sleeping together. DOTTED LINES represent emotional, non physical relationships. Crushes, platonic relationships that never went farther etc. If I had to re-do the "high school friends web of connection" I would put Elise as the center. But hey, it's my blog.

Time to sloowwww downnn.
Okay.
So I am going to do two things this next week.
NOT drink.
NOT go downtown.
I have been crazily going out and drinking and making some really hilarious choices. Nothing to shake your finger at, but looking back I certainly never act like this. Honestly, I am having a good time and wondering if I like this new lifestyle. It isn't something I could keep up with during the school year and I'll probably slow down when school starts.
When you work hard
Play harder.

We were slow dancing in a burning room... but now...
It's really over, you made your stand
You got me crying, as was your plan
But when my loneliness is through, I'm gonna find another you
You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you
When I was your lover
No one else would do
If I'm forced to find another, I hope she looks like you
Yeah and she's nicer too
So go on baby
Make your little get away
My pride will keep me company
And you just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me and once for someone new
I'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
Oh I'm gonna find another you
You got me crying, as was your plan
But when my loneliness is through, I'm gonna find another you
You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue

Bones to pick.. or ant bites
Okay so I am having an awesome summer so far.
Although... I have some bones to pick with Texas.
ONE:
Hundred degree MONTHS. 25 days in a row of 100+ temperatures.
FORGET IT! Let's go to the lake!
TWO:
Fire Ants. Every time I get bit by a fire ant I feel I should go to community service to make up for the horrible deeds I did to cause karma to send fire ants after me.
UGH I HATE THEM!
But good news is here! The boys and I are baby sitters! Cameron's class pet from third grade, Cinnamon the Guinea Pig, is our house guest for the next month! He doesn't like blue berries, it was an experiment. He does enjoy carrots and hay. I keep calling him Coconut because thats what Brandon named his stuffed guinea pig he received when he broke his arm.
Also, I had an amazing time with my friends this weekend in San Antonio. For a long time I resented many of my friends because of drama that in fact didn't involve me or them. So now that we're "grown up" haha I think I can simply enjoy someones company without all the baggage. The river was BEAUTIFUL I definitely want to go back sometime this summer.

What a weekend. But GOOD driving home music.
Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Where summers lasted longer than
Longer than we do
Where nothing really mattered
Except for me to be with you
But in time we all forgot and we all grew
Your melody sounds as sweet
As the first time it was sung
With a little bit more character for show
And by the time your father's heard
Of all the wrong you've done
Then I'm putting out the lantern
Find your own way back home
If i've forgotten how to sing
Before I sung this song
I'll write it all across this wall
Before my job is done
And I'll even have the courtesy
Of admitting I was wrong
As the final words before I'm dead and gone
You've never been so divine
In accepting your defeat
And I've never been more scared to be alone
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
Then I'm putting out the lantern
Find your own way back home
