TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, October 18, 2010
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Happy Monday! I am back to work after a great weekend. I had
dinner with family on Friday for my mom's birthday, went
downtown to celebrate a friend's birthday on Saturday, and
watched the Bears game and shopped for Halloween costumes with
my boyfriend yesterday. Whew, I need some time to relax now!
Enjoy!
