The Wedding Toast I never Gave

Dear Martha

Sorry my toast at your wedding sucked. Um... I was feeling all emotional and I really didn't wanna get up there and  pull a sarah-tapley. (agreed?) Plus, nerves and such.  It comes down to this- I didn't wanna cry in front of people. Which has been a solid Anna personality trait for the last 23 1/2 years (the 1st 18 months of my life, I didn't mind crying in front of anyone! go figure!) and is not going anywhere. :P

With the day behind me and the computer screen as a buffer, I can tell you what was on my mind that day. I wanted to say, while I am no expert on love or what it takes to make a marriage work, I do consider myself an expert on one (formerly) Miss Martha Fanjoy. I wanted to talk about all the growing up and things we've gone through together and how happy I am with how close we've become. I was gonna say how much I love you and look up to you and how supportive you have always been of me and how Terry has jumped right in and has been supportive too. And how much I appreciate that. I wanted to talk about you and Terry and how wonderful it is- the way you have come together. I was gonna say how apt the reading from Captain Corelli's Mandolin was, since I really feel Terry and you have a love that has passed the stage of "temporary madness" and your "roots have grown towards each underground" over the last few years. I wanted to talk about meeting Terry and how he had no trouble winning the family over, because we could all see, in the way he looks at you and how he treats you, that he really (and I mean REALLY) loves you. You have a 'glow' about you that was absent before and I can tell that Terry makes you feel really great about yourself. Finally, I was gonna throw in a joke about how Terry already felt like one of the family cause I can tease and tease him, while he sputters, looking for a comeback! (just like Jim!) 

Love you very much Mar -best sister eva- and Congrats!

New apartment!

Hey y'all! Very excited as I found my new apartment last night! As you can see above, it is in a huge 3 or 4 story victorian type house, on a street filled with gorgeous old houses. I am on the 2cd floor, which is an amazing rarity since 90% of the places in my price range are basements. Speaking on rarities, Squeeee! I have my own balcony! You can see it in the picture at top/right. Patio doors let in a ton of light and I overlook the street, lots of big trees! The bathroom is acutally bigger than the picture makes it seem and there is a new oven and fridge since the pic was taken. The fridge is actually tucked over next to the oven now, so I will have room for a table! wOOt. It is lovely to have this decision over with and to know where I will be living in 9 days!
The location is awesome too. It is less than 10 minutes walk to St Clair and public transit, and most importantly a Starbucks and a Second Cup !!!
(please reference this post http://oxenanny.blogspot.com/2008/03/2cd-post.html)
The dream has come true!

I think I can walk to work too, according to Google, it is only 1.1 km. Overall I am very happy!

Also, Jory and I went to New Brunswick last weekend for Martha's wedding! I still feel shocked that the day has come and gone. After all the talks and planning, my sister is married! I am a little sad too, because I had been looking forward to the trip for SO long and now it is over and there is lots of family and friends I won't see till at least Christmas and possibly not till next summer (Jenny, John, Heather, Seth, Rob, sob!!!)

The whole trip was great in my opinion. Very busy but fun. The wedding went off without a hitch, everyone looked gorgeous and I managed not to cry too much. I also got to see G twice, hit the flea market, see Sue and Nick's place and go to St Martins with them, drink from the egg fountain, get manicure and pedicure and hair done, see my siblings drunk off their asses, eat donairs and bacon wrapped scallops and worlds best chowder and bbq hotdogs and bison! See? extemely busy and Goooood times. Pics on facebook. check 'em.

Dear Blog

O Hi!
Hello there.
Well, I have been thinking today. Ya know how frogs and toads sorta seems like they are really NICE? Like, they are not an animal who ever give you a dirty look or a bad attitude.

I was thinking, I wonder if they would be as nice if they were bigger. Like, let's say a toad is big enough to eat me. Do you think it would still seem friendly? mild-mannered? Or would it go all Godzilla on me?

I certainly hope not.

Dear Anna...

Dear Anna,

 This is your blog speaking. 

I have been waiting and waiting but I can't hold it in any longer! What's the deal? Where have you been? I thought we had a good thing going, but it has been over a month since I've heard from you! I am hurt, I am lonely, I am confused. What did I do to drive you away? Please come back. I will wait for you... As long as you need. Just know that I am here for you.

Love, 

Your Blog
