I say … and you think … ?
the feelings that plague my mind are out of control
it is so weird that i lose all my senses
where did all this begin ? where does it come from
my spirit is weak, i’m feeling defenseless
but deep down inside i don’t want it to stop
i love the story that my mind is thinking of
where will it go when I close my eyes tonight
almost makes me feel like i’m in love
a little crush is all that it is
and all that it can ever be
so its a little secret love affair
just between you and me
I say … and you think … ?
I do not profess to be an expert on this in any way shape or form, but I do know that we need to do something. Australia’s temperatures are changing, in 2008 we had another increase in the average temperatures, I know that things are different from when I was younger – things HAVE changed.
What I do know, is that we can all make a difference, by being responsible and taking action and doing what we can. By letting our Governments know we won’t support them unless they start to take action.
I have always been interested in the environment, I still have a report I did for school 20 years ago on pollution and the effects (that I got 110/100 for !!). I began a local recycling project in our neighbourhood and from this our local Council brought in regular kerbside recycling (I’m very proud of this). I try to be environmentally friendly where I can, and always think that every small thing I do CAN make a difference. If everyone makes a little change in CAN help.
check the “things you can do at home” on this website do one or two … or all of them…. Make a difference… do SOMETHING

How funny to have this as a topic … we have spent the last 3 weeks saying “CHEESE”
Let me take you back to July 2007 …. Hubby and I are travelling along Route 66 in the USA – a perfect roadtrip for us Aussies, we’re having a fabulous time … and the differences in the “English language” hasn’t proved too much of a problem – we can usually make ourselves understood … like asking for a ‘restroom’ not ‘where’s the loo’ and taking an ‘elevator’ not ‘the lift’ …..
We were in Missouri and visited an Indian trading post …. it wasn’t the friendliest of places, we felt like we were being watched the whole time we were there (making sure we weren’t stealing anything), we made our purchases and headed out the door … as per his normal self my hubby said “Cheers” as he walked out. We headed to the car to find the woman from the store running after us …. “WHAT DID YOU SAY? ” she said threateningly !!
“Cheers” replied hubby …. “it means, goodbye, see you, thanks, have a nice day, that sort of thing”
“hmmmm” she says … “I thought you said CHEESE”
This of course set us off for the rest of the trip saying “Cheese” all the time … fast forward to the last few weeks and us on our third trip down 66 .. and it brought back the “Cheese” memory and we found ourselves saying it all over again. Especially with our friends who knew the story from last time.
I also now have a “BEER” story … we went to visit with a friend on the Route, and he had a bear skin rug on his lounge room floor, I’d never seen a ‘real’ bearskin rug before ….
so I said to my mate “Can I take a photo of your bear on the floor”
he looked at me … and put his BEER on the floor and said “gee you Aussies have some funny habits”
who knew English was so hard to understand !!!!

Beer on the floor vs Bear on the floor
I actually like being an adult … well …. sometimes I still feel like I’m 15 when I’m with my best friend and something stupid can set us of giggling like school kids …. laughing so hard it hurts … or laughing so hard you think you might pee yourself and then suddenly realising you ARE old when you almost do !!!
I like being an adult and having a say in my life .. not being directed around my someone else. I love being able to say no and to do what i want. I like being an adult and staying out late and having fun with friends and knowing I can sleep in the next day to recover.
I feel like i’ve been a grown up forever … sometimes i wish i could have part of my childhood back … but then again – i’ve had a great life and why would i need to change anything ???
