We started out with a couple of local errands then after breakfasting at Sonic, we headed to little rock at about 10:30 a.m. We went to the camera store first - which we found without getting lost - imagine that!! When I walked in, I went to the counter with cabinets full of "point & shoot" digital cameras and the man behind the counter (John - the manager) asked if he could help. I explained my situation (that I had an older Sony digital and that I was a total dingbat regarding photography) he asked WHAT I would be taking pictures of, and I told him "my 3 year old grandson". He steered me away from the "point & shoots" and said they were not what I needed. He then showed me a Nikon D60 (for beginners). I asked about the Canon Rebel, he showed that one to me also. I like the Nikon best. Now I just need $450 more and I can buy it :)
After the camera store we went to Kohls and Norman bought me a pair of jeans - they were on sale!! I really needed them as I had just 2 pair that I have been wearing every day and every night. We went to JC Penney to look for socks but they didn't have what I wanted so I guess I will have to go to worlds softest socks dot com and get them online.
On to the movies. We went to the RAVE theater and saw "The Proposal" - a Sandra Bullock chick flick (Norman picked the movie, I wanted to see Transformers). The movie was actually better than I thought it would be. We both enjoyed it. We decided to go back to Hot Springs for Dinner - I gave Norman the chance to pick the place - he didn't so we had dinner at Olive Garden - one of my favorites.
We got home around five thirty-ish, I'm in my (flannel) jammies, under the covers, relaxin. I think I'll take a nap. Catch you next week.
My sis and I went to see The Proposal while I was in Georgia. Pretty funny, and we both LOVE Betty White!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the market (wishfully speaking) for a new point & shoot that I can carry around with me. I have a Fuji digital SLR that Hubs gave me for Christmas several years ago that I really like, but it's just to bulky to carry around. I'm looking at getting a Canon Powershot if I can ever scrape up the cash.
Sounds like you had a fun day.
I gotta go check out those socks...
Wouldn't you know it...your day off was the slowest workday at APC we've had since ever! We would have enjoyed your presence, but we wouldn't have been able to demonstrate a neat digital camera for you, shown a fun chick-flick nor fed you Italian food! Glad you had such a good rewarding time. And didn't let the rain spoil it for you!
ReplyDeleteCharles, so glad you are back!!!!!
