TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 19, 2012

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. On Saturday, I got to see my adorable little goddaughter, Rachel, who has suddenly become my friend ever since I took her to Build-A-Bear for her birthday a couple of months ago.

Before this, I'm not sure she really cared about who I was, but now she has become attached to my side whenever I'm around. In fact, when my cousin (her mom) told her that I was coming over, Rachel gave her a blank look.

However, when my cousin added, "Remember, she's the one who took you to build your princess bear," Rachel got all excited and had to show the bear off once again.

I almost feel like I bribed her with a stuffed bear to earn her love and affection...or she's just hoping I'll take her back there again! Either way, I am enjoying every moment!

Enjoy!
Melissa
