TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, February 28, 2011
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Did anyone watch the Oscars last night? This might have
been the first time I missed them. I just bought a condo
and the closing was last week, so I have been busy cleaning
and painting before I move my stuff in.
My boyfriend and I spent the afternoon yesterday painting
one of the bathrooms, and taping the living room and kitchen
to prepare for more painting next weekend! It's a lot of
fun, but also a lot of work!
Anyway, I got so wrapped up in working at the condo that I
didn't catch any of the awards! However, I have a few Oscar
fun facts for you to enjoy on this Monday morning...
Enjoy!
Melissa
