The STRESS of new techonlogy

We took Gloria to drivers ed today after lunch, we then went to Wal-mart to see if they had the bathing suit and shorts we were looking for.  No luck on the suit but we did find shorts that would work.  So then we decided to go to Best Buy to take care of a bill and so I could look for a new lens for my Olympus digital that I had bought last July, guess what,  it is obsolete!!  The lens that they now have are for a compact Olympus digital.  I have been told more than once when you get a name camera ( Olympus, Nikon, Kodak etc) the lens are interchangeable, not so.  So the gentleman who talked with us at best buy stated we might have better luck online at the Olympus site, at eBay, amazon or in a camera store in person.  We then went to a camera store and the only lens they had for my brand was once again for the compact.  Ann looked online at Olympus site while we waited for Gloria to get out of class and we didn't really have luck there but we are not giving up

We then went to Family Bookstore, a wonderful Christian bookstore that I love!  I was able to find some books, cds, movies and other items there that I was very happy with.  The problem being When we got there somehow or another I got my foot in the way of the front passengers door, my poor toes, I thought I was going to cry.  I was able to shake it off after a little while.

Our next stop was to the nail saloon to have pedis, we were told they would do 4 of us at 4pm and for us not to be late please.  We got there at 5 till, they were not quite ready for us.  About four o'clock they took Gloria , who had a cello lesson at 5:30.  At 4:05 they took Monica and about 4:15 they called Nicole back, about 4:20 the gentleman came over and told me it was my turn, I informed him that it was too late and we would not be done in time, My toe was sore and I did not want anyone touching it plus I knew I would be the last one to finish and did not want to hold anyone up.  I am planning on asking Brandy if we can take her girls next week to get one, we will see.

We came home and then Ann took Gloria to her lesson while John, Monica and I made baked spaghetti, I watched more than helped but I did learn a new recipe.  It was coming out of the oven as Gloria and Ann came in so we were all able to sit down and enjoy dinner together before John took the girls to church for Bible study.
