Day 6

My 5 Senses Right Now.

Sight (ophthalmoception) - Dimmed sunshine in the bathroom with the light off and the door open so that I can see/hear Dezmond as he sleeps on my bed and, of course, the glow of the computer screen. 
Hearing (audioception) - Blazing Bill counting to 16 and telling Stripes to jump, from Callan's computer. I also hear the hum of my computer fan. I may need to have that looked at. 
Taste (gustaoception) - Green apples and Vanilla Coke. Not a common match. Also, not unpleasant. 
Smell (olfacoception or olfacception) - The slight scent of soft water from my bath. 
Touch (tactioception) - Keys of my computer, warm bath not filled too high, air moving from the fan in my room.

Day 4

What am I afraid of?

Recently, I have been terrified that I will let my children down. I feel that the best thing I can do for them, right now, is to teach them to be decent to others. I've never been a fan of parents that treat their children like they treat their friends. As my children grow I find this to be a more difficult distinction. I enjoy my children's company more then my friends. Perhaps this will get easier for me in time.

Day 3

Favorite quote: "If the road is easy, you're likely going the wrong way." -Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander

Terry Goodkind wrote this quote for a character in a book. I have found referring back to it in rough times when I feel that the world may be against me. Although, I do love the feeling when you get far enough on "the road" and everything in your life starts fitting together like pieces of a puzzle. I have had the wonderful opportunity of experiencing that on more then one occasion.

Day 1: 31 Day Challenge Introduction

Picking up this blog again. I may end up posting some VLOGS here too. We shall see how my first week of Blogging goes and take it from there. So... Hello! Please come on this sloppy blogging adventure with me. If you are new to my life/inner voice, my name is Julianie Spookie McCray. I am a delighted mother of two radiant boys. Callan turned 3 yesterday! Dezmond is freshly 6 months old. My two boys will likely be the center of most of my rants, stories, and attention. My husband, Luke McCray, is simply astounding. I'd like to write our love in depth here someday. Condensed version is... In May 2017 we will be celebrating our 7th year of marriage. (10th year of being together) Luke still frequently surprises and delights me. He knows more about me then anyone else. He's seen me at my worst and yet still chooses to be by my side. Like I said, he surprises me. Sorry, I got a little off topic. A little bit more about me, I should be graduating from SLCC after Fall semester 2017. I hope to take my AAS-Graphic Design to SCAD to get my Masters. I am still learning how to care for two young boys on a daily basis. As a person, I think that I am difficult to "deal with". Although I am passionate and caring, I am also fairly harsh. At school/work it is good for me to find the flaws... not so great in relationships. I am constantly learning and adapting to the world around me. Over my entire life,  I very proud of my honesty. I believe that I surround myself with people that will call me on my shit. This is because, it does not take a lie for me to be full of myself, misinformed, overly passionate and totally WRONG at times. I think that about does it for a personal introduction. 

CHATTY CHEERS!

New Look, School, Hair and Such

Hello Bloggers! I know that I have been lacking when it comes to keeping up with this blog. At least I have added a new look. LOTS has been going on. 

School has been fantastic! I am taking a single class (Design Basics) this semester and have maintained a 100%, cause I'm a boss like that. Also, my teacher is pretty darn awesome!

I have been growing my hair out since 1/1/12. It is driving me absolutely mad! It is just long enough to whip in front of me whenever the windows are down in the car. Luke keeps telling me to have it trimmed... but I remember that I always HATE the way that people cut my hair while I'm growing it out. Perhaps, I could ask someone to even it out so that I have less of a mullet thing going on. 

As far as "and Such" Luke is the most amazing person and I am blown away everyday that I am the lucky girl that gets to sleep next to him. Also, we got our names changed (finally). Still waiting for our new Driver's Licenses in the mail. I can't wait, even though my picture is the worst... ever!

Thanks for listening!
