TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, January 6, 2014

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Well, it's back to work today. The party's over! I've enjoyed having time off the last couple of weeks, but it feels good to get back to my routine. At least that's what I'm telling myself so I feel a little bit better about getting back to the grind. Have a great week!

Enjoy!
Melissa
