Virus gone!

{via}

Yes! My virus in my computer is gone! This last week was a bit crazy: First I had the silly guy reposting my blog posts on his site… then I got a virus from a website I ALWAYS visit... So, I’m way/totally behind on anything and everything… I have to catch up… and will. BUT, for today: no cute photos of the Ruari. Tomorrow… maybe.
Do make sure to vote for your favorite Valentine’s Photo! Voting ends Tuesday morning!

My computer has a virus/trojan horse whatever….

I’m working on getting the photo challenge up and the top picks for the Valentine’s challenge… it’s taking a little longer because… my computer has a virus or trojan horse… Hmmmm… It all started when I went to a website I ALWAYS go to! What the? Ugh. So terrible.

This virus likes porn. It likes to open lovely photos for us. Stupid virus thing. Man! I have so many orders to finish on my computer! Grr….

So, I will get those posts up as soon as I can. I’m working from Mike’s computer and he needs it for work. I’ll extend the voting time for the Valentine’s Photo Challenge top picks when I get it up.. maybe in a couple hours?
