The Dutch Files

I told you I expected you guys to cut me some slack until I get adjusted to the summertime change… I couldn’t get up this morning… I need to buy myself a new alarmclock as the current one did not survive my bad temper this morning (I am usually pretty cheerful in the morning except for this particular time of year)… and I was late at the office… You will have to do with reading about my Sesame Street Personality today…

The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

So? That was unexpected wasn’t it? I bet you all thought I would be grumpy Bert, right! Pfffttt!!!

Please all of you… cut me some slack today… and most probably for the days to come…

Dutchyland and the rest of Europe have switched to “summertime” and the clocks were set forward an hour at 2.00 a.m.

I can’t stand it… I am a very organized and regular person and adjustment of the clock twice a year… it fucks me up… Especially the summertime adjust where we lose 1 hour… It fucks up my inner clock… it fucks up my inner schedule… It fucks me up totally…

I. H.A.T.E. I.T.!!!

I think I suffer from summertime adjustment jetlag. STFU! I am not shitting you. It’s a serious affliction that I suffer from. There is no cure for it and it is very upfucking!!! Every year it takes me a few days to adjust my biological clock to “real time”. It makes me totally grumpy and tired and anyone who knows me will think twice about fucking with me during the week after summer time adjust. That would be a bad bad bad bad bad baaaaaaad move…

Now… where did I put that hammer that I will need to to knock the alarm clock to hell and back tomorrow morning…

Go on! Go! Go see Tina, it’s her 29th birthday today… and Blogarita, it’s her and Spouse Guy’s 7th Anniversary… Oh, AND go over to Fab’s blog! Mrs Fab sprained her ankle and consequently fell and broke her wrist… Give her some luvin’ thru the comments section. I am sure she could do with some, even though she’s got the greatest husband… And last but not least also need to get your butts over to Nobody, his Mrs has her birthday today! Phew!

*rummaging thru the DutchBitch toolkit*

My Mom moved to a town near my sister and I to live closer to us after divorcing her second husband (her first husband, our dad, passed away in 1996 at 53 years of age)… She left her second husband about 6 months ago and then in December 2006 moved over here, after having lived at the other side of Dutchyland for over 9 years.

By December my sister and BIL had already done so much to help her get her new appartment together. Due to my asthmatic bronchitis I can’t do all that kinda stuff like painting and such, so I decided I’d go over and help her clean the appartment and put away all her stuff.

The Kid was with me on the first day we came over to help his grandma. We got a headstart putting away all of her books… My Mom has got a shitload of books, and I am not shitting you this time. She could singlehandedly supply the whole town of books to read for years to come… She likes to have her books categorized and then alphabetized… As that is something she should do herself, we decided that The Kid would just take the books out of the cases and put them on the bookshelves and she would organize them later.

The Kid: *snickers*
DutchBitch: “Did you find a funny book?”
The Kid: *snickers* “Heeheehee… no…”
DutchBitch: “So why are you snickering”
The Kid: *whispering* “Look…” *snickers*
DutchBitch: *walking over to bookshelves*
The Kid: *turning a book with a painting as a bookfront towards me* “Grandma’s got books with titties on ‘m” *snickers*
DutchBitch: “That’s art, honey. It’s a painting by a very famous Belgian painter”
The Kid: “Which painter?”
DutchBitch: “It’s a painting by Rubens, Hon”
The Kid: “Did he do paintings like this all the time?”
DutchBitch: “A lot of the time, yes”
The Kid: “Pffftt!!! I am NEVER becoming a painter!”

On a different note: BE Rent My Blog can´t be put to use on a Wordpress blog, unfortunately, as it doesn’t allow the use of javascript. As I would still love to continue offering a chance to blogs to be in my sidebar, in an attempt to drive some traffic to their blogs, I’ve put the spot up for “rent” again myself. I am doing so outside of the BE system. Good thing about that: it’s free! If any of you is interested in having your blog-thumbnail up there for a week or so, drop me a line thru email (see below at “Contact The DutchBitch“). I will introduce you in a special pimpin’ post and pimp you thruout the week, and hopefully drive some traffic to your blog!

I think Blog Explosion and their Support Team have now actually exploded themselves… They must have, it’s the only logical explanation…

My most recent support ticket concerning my email notifications has been waiting for a reply for over a month now… and well… um… the new thumbnail request and change of URL for the new blog after switching to WordPress has been looking like this for over a week…

Pfffttt… If they don’t get a move on I’ll loose my listing in Battle of the Blogs! Sheesh!!! I was on a roll! And renting’s out of the question for now too! This is my thanks after plugging BE big time weeks ago!

So I was on the main road driving home the other day when the car in front of me, at full speed (120 km/h - 75 m/h), decided to spray his windshield in order to clean it…

That totally fucks me up when people do that! WTF! Never mind you needing a clear view while driving! When the car in front of you sprays his windshield at full speed, the majority of the soapspray is blown over the top of that car, smackdab onto the windshield of the car behind it!!! Which driver now consequently needs to clean theìr windshield because it is now covered in all that spray shit and blocking theìr view…

When I then considered spraying my windshield to clear it, I looked behind me and I saw a motorcyclist driving right behind me and it hit me…

I hate it when people do the spraying bit at full speed when I am behind them in my car… but it must be really crappy to be a motorcyclist driving behind a car doing that! Having all that sprayin’ shit smack in ya face! Eeewwwwww!!! That must really suck!

So all of you! Make sure your windshields are clean BEFORE you drive off and STOP doing the spraying crap on the freeway at full speed! Sheesh!
