Today was productive.

Firstly I mailed two items off that I sold on half.com yesterday. That puts me at around $100 profit so far from half.com. Rock.

Then I went to the library and checked out the fourth and fifth Homecoming books by Orson Scott Card. Good stuffs. Now I'll have reading material for my road trip! (More about that later, in case you missed the short paragraph about it in my post back in march.)

After I cleaned out my car for said road trip I returned home and began gardening. I planted two roma tomato plants, four big boy tomato plants, four green bell pepper plants, one yellow bell pepper plant, three cayenne pepper plants, two eggplant plants (plant plants?), four basils of two kinds, one spearmint, two cilantros, and two rosemary's in the bed. I still had some left over so I found some big pots and into those went two tomato plants, another bell pepper plant, and two more cayenne pepper plants (I think that about covers it, I can't quite remember).

I then proceded to find out how to water said garden. As it turns out, there are two heads for the sprinkler system, one on either end. One of them doesn't actually hit it as it's below the level of the bed, but there's also a spigot hooked up to the system which my grandfather had been using with a seep hose, for now I've hooked up a sprinkler to it, so when the system runs my garden gets watered. While seeing where all the water would go I had the system running and I was going amongst the sprinklers, quite wet and fun. I think I'll eventually hook the seep hose up for the garden, I may run the drip sprinklers to the pots. We'll see.

Now I have packed and am about to go to bed, gotta work in the morning!

After work my sister and I will drive to Butler, AL to see our folks for a few hours before we sleep. On friday we'll trek down to Hattiesburg, MS and see our friends there and see Into the Woods that Carey and USM are doing jointly. USM doesn't have the greatest theatre departmetn but they have money, and Carey has Mr. Quave and Shannon Robert and Dr. Connie Roberts, so the show will be wonderful! We'll return to Augusta on Monday.

So, tonight at church we had our Evensong service for Easter, and just because I know at one person who will be jealous of this I'm going to post the service:
