It's been a long day...

... which makes for a quick and random blog post, full of nothing really interesting.

For the second time this summer, I spent the afternoon up at the community college teaching a bunch of young (middle-school aged) girls how to 'stay safe' in a variety of situations. While it was fun, God am I glad it is over! I am just not good in front of crowds. Okay, maybe that's not entirely true. Once I get started, It's not so bad. It's just the nervous anticipation that kills me.

I love the smell of Warm Apples and Cinnamon. We have an apple tree in the backyard (along with a few other fruit trees) and I've spent the day making homemade applesauce and apple crisp. Delicious!

Saturday night/Sunday morning. Either way. It was early - 1 am. I get a phone call from an "Unknown" number. I knew I should probably ignore it, but the whole "what if it's an emergency?" idea got the best of me. I answer it and a very upset and very angry woman says, "Yes, Hello. Can I leave a message for the owner of this phone?" What kind of question is that?!? Ends up she had the wrong number, though now I'm wishing I would have went along with it just to find out what the 'oh-so-important' message was!

Speaking of random phone calls. Have any of you heard of Youmail? It's a free voice mail service. Both The Hubby and I use it in place of our carriers voice mail. You can choose greetings for your callers or use the general one which greets your callers by name, "Hello Barbie. Ken is not currently available..."
My favorite part of this service is their "DitchMail". Perfect for getting rid of ex-boyfriends, crazy stalkers, and the occasional insane family member! I know it's not very 'Christian' of me, but I would love to greet a certain someone with, "I’m sorry, nobody at this number wants to talk to you. Please hang up, and die in a fire." Muahahah!!
