Caffeinated Randomness: Snapple Facts

I cannot tell you how glad I am today is Friday!

TODAY IS FRIDAY!!!!


This week has not only been long... but rough.

But, today is the last day of the week and I am glad to see it end!  WHOO-WHOO!

So, since I've given up desserts and alcohol for Lent (Praise the Lord, so far, so good... this is only possible by the strength of God), I have been enjoying a few Diet Snapple drinks as a substitute.  My Snapple drinks always have a fun and silly fact on the inside of the cap, but I thought the fact from yesterday afternoon was worth sharing.

"Real Fact" #908
In, Athens, Greece, a driver's license can be taken away by law if the driver is deemed with "unbathed" or "poorly dressed."

Caffeinated Randomness: Classic Theme Songs

I have not participated in caffeinated randomness in a very long time ... mostly because I haven't known where to find it... but it has been found at Lost in the Prairies


Today's randomness is brought to us by:  Classic Sitcom Theme Songs

Last week, Chris and I got home from the gym and I was very high on endorphins.  While in the shower, I started singing classic tv theme songs, and I had to wonder, "What happened to the great old theme songs?"

I'm sure many of you have sung along to the following sitcom songs (or at least the reruns of the sitcom songs):

Growing Pains


Family Ties


Brady Bunch


Reading Rainbow


Who's The Boss?


Charles in Charge


Laverne and Shirley


Cheers


Fresh Prince of Bel Air


Full House


Perfect Strangers


Okay, I realize there are a lot of theme songs on my blog right now... but, seriously, what better way to brighten your Friday than singing along to these great songs?  Enjoy!  I want to hear some singing...

What happened to television theme songs?  Basically, there is only one theme song I sing along to in present day.  You guessed it...

COLLEGE GAMEDAY!


To embrace the randomness yourself, visit Lost In the Prairies.
