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?

Let’s talk about poop.

I know the future 13-year-old Ruari will not like that I’m talking about her poop with the world… but…
I don’t know when it happened exactly… but, Ruari’s poops are no longer cute! Yes, they were a little cute before… and, they smelled like buttered popcorn… not anymore!!! It is over. They are gross little human poops. Why? When can I potty train her?

Now that she’s eating more solids she poops SO much! I change a poopy diaper like 2-3 times a day… So stinky! AND: she’s super wiggly when I change her… I’ll let you imagine how messy that can get. ๐Ÿ™‚

How can someone so cute be so stinky? That’s today’s question. ๐Ÿ™‚

TODAY is the LAST day to enter the Valentines Photo Challenge! 
You have a chance to win a ton of awesome prizes!!!
