Anne,
I saw you on the American Papist blog. It was very wonderful to put a voice to your face and posts!

I saw it earlier this morning, too, and thought about posting it here! Thanks Leah for taking the step!
I agree - it was DELIGHTFUL to see you and hear your voice!

Yes she is! Isn't the internet a great globalizer - puts us up close and personal with those around the world.

Oh, that was so cool! I love the way technology brings us together! I am grinning from ear to ear here at getting to see and also hear your sweet voice. Your accent is just adorable! (I know, you don't have an accent, we do. ) Just beautiful!

I agree. It was a delight to put your voice and mannerisms with your face. Of course, when you said, "known in the internet and blogging world as..." I could have sworn you mispronounced your name  To this American Southerner, you were always Ausssssie Annie (with an s sound instead of a z) in my head. Must fix what I hear when I read your name now.
I did feel a little giggly thinking, "wow, she really DOES have an Australian accent!"

...WELL girls, the term 'aussieannie' started here, you know!
You have NO IDEA how my poor brain struggled with saying all that..  I didn't compose anything before arriving at the zoo and I think I could do a funny home videos on all the takes!!  I'd say to Phil, "It's the Sydney WHAT house?"... What's the NAME  of the two things again!?!?!  Phil would say dryly, "No, point to the bridge on THAT side of your head!" 
My memory is so bad that even what I had worked out to say by take 28 (No, not that bad! ) my brain was furiously ticking over at each phrase, "What comes next, come ON brain!" (I reckon you can actually see slight mannerisms of me thinking hard on that video) Even as I was doing these takes I didn't really know how to finish it..it'd be like:
G'day Tom and American Papists, this is Anne here...um...more commonly known oh as...oh stop that.. 
G'day Tom and American Papists, this is Anne here or more commonly known in the Catholic blogging world as aussieannie, behind me I have a beautiful, Australian, iconic backdrop, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge on this side and..um......pwsssp!!! (sound effect as I crack up! )
(real transcripts there ladies )
And much, much more..
And then I didn't do ANYTHING wrong with this one which didn't quite make it. (Granted, we didn't get far )
I ought to be seriously worried, it's 35 seconds, for goodness sakes! 
The children who had been extraordinarily patient but finally they said, "Are we going to see the animals now?"...

Wow, Anne!!!...So cool to see AND hear you, LOVE that accent!!! I feel like I did as a kid when I heard my New Zealand penpal for the first time on a phone call...that lasted for just a few minutes, and I am sure cost a half a day salary!!
Thanks for sharing!!

Coming back to say a big THANK YOU for you all your very kind comments for I value your loving thoughts more than anyone, my overseas buddies and dear friends! I was far more chuffed waking up and seeing it being mentioned here than seeing it on AmP itself, as much as that was really neat!
Yes Lindsay you have to think of saying Aus as in Oz! Like Ozzies. That's probably why we are known as down under in the Land of Oz!

Oh yeah, I was on the phone the other morning to Marilyn W and an hour and a half later we both thought that I'd sweat enough over the bill to come! To me, Marilyn had the most beautiful accent, though maybe Marilyn, you are an eclectic mix of many accents there?

I caught you this morning, Anne! You were great.
You all should check out Penny Talk in the States. And I am sure there is some calling program Down Under as well.
