Weekend Recap/10 books

My word, I never expected so much feedback. But I loved it! ;o)
I mostly did that post for my own documentation and was hoping 1 or 2 might respond. It definitely made my day. Seriously. I went and added all of your suggestions to my Netflix queue. I will for sure watch 25 but there is nothing wrong with going above and beyond a reasonable goal, so I am going for it.
Work last night was something else. We had a no call/no show and 2 people go home sick with a possible stomach bug. All 3 of them worked front counter. Solution? Put Ashley bagging front counter(all 5 registers). Little refresher. I work in the kitchen. The only time I work up front is if they need me to replace someone while they take their break. That is 30 minutes max. Once I got used to what I was doing, it wasn't too bad. But we were SO busy. Honestly, it was about the same(to me at least) as the day after Thanksgiving. I guess everyone was going stir crazy and needed to get outside after our lovely snow fall. I came home exhausted and T left for work (12a-8a). T got home around 9 this morning and slept the entire day.
My day? I
- went to church
- ate lunch with my family
- laughed with my dad until Poppa and I both cried
- went to Chi Alpha practice
- went grocery shopping
- cooked lemon shrimp scampi
- dropped T off at work for his 8p-8a shift
- snuggled with my babies
- and I am currently blogging

Honestly, Valentines day is very low key for us. It isn't because we don't want to do anything, it is more because we don't have the ability. Whether it is time, money, or something else, it has never happened. But like Poppa says, "I don't get why everybody makes such a big deal about Valentine's Day. If you treat the love of your life EVERY DAY the way you should, there's no need to go out of your way just because the calendar says so."

I know T loves me and he knows I love him with all my heart. That's all that matters. :)

Another thing on my 101 in 1001 list is to read 10 books on the Time's Top 100 Books list. Is there another list you would suggest using? That was the list originally suggested to me but honestly, I'm just not digging it. ;)
Right now I am thinking of using Newsweek's Top 100 list. Not sure why but this list counts down from 100 to 1. I simply crossed through the ones I have already read. So advise away!
