Or you could say, "Hey, I have a situation and need your advice on...." this way you are implying you need her opinion and she will be more apt to listen. If she still doesn't get the hint, you can tell her that while you love listening to her, you feel neglected when she does all the talking.
As for getting another call, it isn't any of her business who calls you. She sounds a little possessive or jealous that other people call. You can simply change the topic if she asks. ("Sorry about that, what were we talking about? Oh yes, your day at the mall....") This way she won't feel upset about you taking another call. All the best!
