While You Were Sleeping
Yeah… on Wednesdaymorning (Dutchyland time)… while most of you were sleeping… a world rocking event has taken place… And you didn’t even notice… Did ya? Nooo, you dih-ent!
As Lucy is temporarily otherwise engaged by all kinds of shit going on in her life, I was left moving my URL from her domainhosting to mine all by myself… Which I didn’t mind but was scaring the shit out of me. But then: nothing better than taking a huge challenge head on! Lucy was kind enough to give me the login and password to her domain and so I logged in, stared at her cpanel and the email I got from the BlueHost helpdesk (which, though meant well, at the time seemed like total gibberish to me), and took a deeeeeeeep breath… and got crackin’…
It caused knots in stomachs, asking Rob thru GTalk to hold me and give me a hug, as I was near sobbing, it caused blood, sweat and tears, eyes popping out, there was cursing, pulling hair out of the DutchBitch scalp (yes, Fab, again), but I made it. I achieved the divine stage 10… Pride (and found out there’s a secret stage 11: Relief)…
Yes, though you can probably not “feel” the difference, you are looking at The Dutch Files which I singlehandedly moved from one domain hosting to another. Moving files, backing up and restoring SQL databases, changing directories, fixing bugs and all that shit. I did it!!! ME ME ME!!!
I am SO fucking proud of myself! Holy Shit!
OK, I am done blowing my own horn now… On to more important matters…

Just one more day… ONE MORE DAY and it’s there: The All Brandnew DutchBitch Contest! And to give you a sneak preview… I am introducing you to the 3 judges that I invited to judge the contest… Yup! I got three of my blogging buddies to volunteer (read: I begged, pleaded, bribed) to be Official DutchBitch Contest Judges…
So behold! Meet the Three Judges! Below I photoshopped you 3 pics that for most of my regular readers and readers of the blogs in my blogroll should pretty much give away who my judges are.
If it’s not all clear to you, have fun figuring it out! More about the contest tomorrow! It will all be revealed in about 24 hours!!!

Now, wish me luck. It’s D-Day today on the genetic testing of The Kid. This p.m. I have an appointment with The Kid and The Ex at the medical center’s genetics center to find out whether he inherited the gene from his dad or not… This morning I was driving to the office and I noticed that this is actually the first day again since start of winter that sun was actually rising while I was making my way to the office. Looking at the sky coloring bright orangy pink I couldn’t believe that on such a beautifully starting day I would be hit with bad news… but doubt is gnawing its way in while the morning moves on… So, cross your fingers for us, sweeties… See Ya Tomorrow!
UPDATE 3.30 P.M.: just returned from genetic center… News was not good. Still trying to process it… Next stop: child cardiologist in a few months…
I am awesomely impressed that you were able to do all that by yourself, but then you impress me on a regular basis!

It was a pleasure having you in my basement for the past year you are welcome back anytime!
And, finally, **hugs** to you and The Kid. I have all my parts crossed for you two.

I love your new site! I would say I am impressed but I knew you could do it…oh what the hell I AM impressed! You rock!

JQ’s last blog post..“The baddest man in the whole damn town….”
metalmom: Thanks babe. It’s means so much you are all out there for me!
JQ: Thanks Hon, It’s great to rock!
I’m sorry hun!
I’m just a click away if you need anything. But, it’s important to remember that you’re getting this information in advance, and not AFTER something has happened with The Kid. That, in retrospect, is a very good thing. Nevertheless, I can’t begin to comprehend what you, as his mom, are going through. Huge hugs from me to you and I’m here if you need anything @ all!
That Bitchy Chick’s last blog post..Be Mine
Im SO sorry the news was not what you wanted to hear! But. at least you know for sure this way, and can take steps to protect him!
Still, sending A MILLION cyber hugs your way!
That Bitchy Chick: Thanks babe, that means a lot to me
Bluepaintred: It is true. As I told The Kid, knowing beforehand is a luxury that was not given to your dad, so now we can deal with it.
congrats on the digs! Very nice… can I stay around a while?? Maybe sleep on your couch? ;)
Cinnkitty’s last blog post..One minute you are totally bummed…
Cinnkitty: Sure Hon! Anytime! Stay till February 14 and we can have an anti-Valentine’s Day together!
I knew you could do it!
ANO’s last blog post..Hamster Emergency
Oh Dutchy.
I’m so sorry the new was not good. There shouldn’t be a reason for child cardiologists to exist. WTF?
*pixie*’s last blog post..reading rainbow
ANO: I did I did, didn’t I?
*pixie*: Yeah, I’ll say… but nothing I can change about it… We’ll take it from here… Thanks babe…
I am glad you found relief with the website!
Let me know if you need someone to talk to about the other stuff. Sorry you didn’t get good news.
Lynda’s last blog post..Be Good to Your Boobs
Yay on the blog thing. You can always hit me up on gmail, too.
I’m sorry about the news. You can always hit me up on gmail, you know. I’m good as a listening ear (or eye as the case may be) and a hug or two (even if only virtual).
Shelli’s last blog post..Cawfee Talk
Lynda: I did, it took my mind of things temporarily. And thanks Hon, much appreciated
Shelli: Thanks to you too, babe. You are all so wonderful!
As you know, I’m not a technically proficient person, so I’m continually amazed at people doing techie stuff. Congrats on that.
I’m sorry the Kid inherited the crap gene from the Ex. Hopefully, all the good ones that he inherited from you will somehow offset.
Marty’s last blog post..Coming Attractions
I know the deal of trauma with the baby. My son had open heart surgery twice before he was 2 years old. If you EVER need to talk…you write me immediately…got it??? We are all here for you and the kid. *hugs*
I just checked back and saw your update. Stay positive Dutchy, the problem is being addressed at an early age; he is going to be fine. I am going to have a drink for you, maybe you should have one as well. And give your boy a big hug, poor guy!
JQ’s last blog post..“The baddest man in the whole damn town….”
Marty: well, but you ARE the Toiletpaperworld Executive Mascotte, right? That counts for something… right? And thanks for the support on The Kid…
CP: Thanks Babe, you rock! In a “gross” *wink wink* way!!!
JQ: Thank you Hon, I know he’s gonna be fine. At least we know and can act upon it.
Sorry I haven’t been around…many ((hugs)), thoughts & prayers for you & the kid to live HAPPY & HEALTHY!!!
YAY for you with the moving stuff…YOU ROCK!
