TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, January 1, 2014

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy new year's celebration! I went out with my cousin and some friends to a bar that had no cover charge, free parking, a live band, AND we even had a table where we could sit. It was great! I can tell that I'm no longer in my twenties when these are the things I am excited about. HAHA! But, I am happy that I went out and stayed up past midnight!

Enjoy!
Melissa
