21st Century, Here We Come!

I decided we would take a plunge into the 21st century and get iPhones. Our current cell phone contract has expired, so we can change with no penalty.
I decided we should get the 5s model, better in every way than the 5c, but the 5s couldn't be preordered.
We decided we'd go to the Apple store during suppertime when maybe the line wouldn't be long. It wasn't long, but by the time we got there, all the Verizon 5s's for that store had been sold.
"You can order them online," the polite young fellow in the blue shirt said.
We ate supper at Cheesecake Factory (a couple of delectable dishes from the "Skinnylicious" menu--and we resisted the urge to get cheesecake for dessert), shopped the sale at Dillard's (Evelyn found some shoes at a great price), and then headed home through a driving rain to watch an old movie we had recorded months ago.
Before we fired up the television, I went online to order our phones. But the online Apple store will allow a person to order only one phone at a time. Only when it is delivered (in 7-10 business days) and activated can the second phone be purchased.
That won't work for us.
So we'll keep checking the Apple store every other day this week to see when their additional stock gets in.
21st century--we'll be there soon. We just don't know when.
