CONGRATULATIONS to all the lucky winners of our Grand Gala Giveaway!! We are so grateful for your participation and support for the past 100 weeks and look forward to another 100 with you all. LET'S KEEP ROCKIN!  

Welcome to Monday's Music Moves Me!!! We want to make this one of the BEST meme's in all of Blogville, but we cannot do that without YOU.... so come share your music with us and bring your friends to share theirs with us, too!!

Running this little dance party of ours is the sweetest and most wonderful Marie of XmasDolly. The cohosts helping to keep the party rockin' and rollin' are three absolutely fabulous women, who I love to call my friends: Callie of JamericanSpice, Stacy of Stacy Uncorked, and  Cathy of Cathy Kennedy's Blog.  Plus because life gets to be so hectic at times, we occasionally have one of our faithful followers/participants help us with our cohosting duties. This month, we have Danielle of Royalegacy helping us out, so don't forget to go visit her and follow her blog also!

Normally I am also a cohost on this magnificent meme, but my back and neck have been giving me much more difficulty over the last month and I fell last week, causing me even greater pain and the ability to spend less time on the computer. Soooo, I am going to take the month of August off from my hosting duties while I try and recuperate. I will still post the weekly theme and the linky and will do my best to visit as many of you as I can with the time I can spend on the computer.

I do hope you will continue to support the meme, follow the other ladies, and rock your hearts out every week... I know that some Mondays it really is the only thing that gets me going.  =)

So, this week the theme is FREEBIE; and you get to pick any song your hear desires. I cannot wait to see what you post...... Have a great week and keep on rockin!!

***Just one more note,

please keep your songs PG - this is a family blog.

If you do have one song that has some questionable lyrics or content,

PLEASE put a disclaimer BEFORE the video

so my readers can make an informed decision

 as to whether they wish to view it or not.

Thank you!***

Bitch and Moan Friday on Sunday

It's time again for Bitch and Moan Friday. But as I like to call it here at the Shewbridge Household... Bitch and Moan Sunday, sorry Annette.

Head on over to Fairy Blog Mother to find out why Annette started this meme and to read her post and the other's linked to her blog.

Here are the reasons I'm bitchin' this week ~~


Pain

Sick of having it, sick of having to take drugs for it, sick of talking about it!!

People with Guns

How STUPID do you have to be to think that you can solve anything by shooting up other people?? Especially people who have NOTHING to do with what is going on in your life that is so f***ed up? Our military family lost some brothers and sisters in arms this week because some idiot didn't feel like going overseas to do the job he was trained to do. Well, I am not too happy that my son is going to have to be shipped out to Afghanistan next Sunday. But he knows it is his job, and he has been well trained for it and prepared to do his job! I am also so proud of him for that! We also had some moron here in Orlando, the day after the Ft. Hood massacre, decide that HE was unhappy with his life, so he figured he would shoot up his former place of employment. People, PUT the guns down and get some therapy!!

Community Intranet

There are so many people on our community forum taking pot-shots at each other for stupid things that it is driving me crazy. This is America, people are entitled to their own opinions and the right to express themselves without others {except me, of course here on my blog :-) } calling them stupid or idiots in public. I have had it with them just being so mean to each other - sheesh!

Florida Drivers

Hasn't anyone heard of a turn signal light??? Or a STOP sign??? How about the 25mph speed limit in town where all the kids and dogs {like mine with me attached to the other end of his leash} walk around. Somebody is gonna get hurt or killed around here.... then can you imagine what's gonna be said on the community forum.... OMG!!!!


OK, I'm done... what pissed you off this week?



Don't forget to link your post to Annette's blog.

Until next time..... Lorie
