How many did you say?

I've had several "toll free calls" show up on my caller ID for the past couple of weeks. since adam's gone and i'm bored, i've been daring enough to answer the phone. normally, i try to get as far away from the phone as possible, but waking me up at 7 am this morning kind of irked me. every call that i've answered today was in regards to loan consolidation. of course, they ask me when i'll be graduating from school (if i hadn't already), and i kindly respond with "2010". i then get, "oh, thanks! have a nice day!" *click*. yeah, i didn't figure you'd want to deal with a student who's been in school for a while and hasn't graduated. sheesh.

other than that, i've been blanching tomatoes this morning like a mad-woman. there were about 30 in the garden that i had picked last night. i gave the neighbor half of those, but when i took madison out for her last potty break, they were in a grocery bag on my porch table. odd. very odd. maybe she thinks i have cooties, or maybe she already has enough. fine by me. more to make chili with this winter. i also made homemade pickles from the cucumbers we bought tuesday night. they're marinating now. yum!

i've been pretty bored lately, and adam's only been gone for a day. good thing he's not gone for weeks at a time like he has been in the past. it just seems like nobody wants to hang out with me or even bother answering their phone. i probably couldn't even bother bribing people over with my pickles. blah.
