But first, congrats to Hyphen Girl and her soccer team for capturing the league championship yesterday. The girls won 2-1 and 4-2 in games yesterday, taking the championship from the highly favored team that beat them a few weeks back. Yea, that was fun. This was Hyphen Girl's first season and it was exciting to watch her grow as a player over the course of the season. The team graduates their goalie this year, so I'm already working on her to take up her mom's old position :-)
Now on the the question of the week. As the readers of my blog will know, I've called into question the "man card" status of a certain
And thus I descend deeper into my karmic appliance sink hole. Since impugning the Bolderette, my appliances have universally rebelled and gone on the blink. And I mean appliances plural. Sink is dripping, dishwasher leaving crust, fridge/freezer warm, oven cold, disposal backing up. In infinte Trimama wisdom, I fixed the freezer/fridge, but everything else is just plain tempermental. With the pending chore of packing the Tribe off to Florida, I can't afford this quirk to float down toward my laundry room, so I wrote to The Bold and begged him for absolution. I imagined he would respond with his typical booty call, which I feel fairly confident to pull off in my Iron shapened body,
BUT NOooooooooo!
He went for the heart.
He demands the ancient oblation of the gods of old.
Just as Jepthah long ago, in the jubilation of defeating the Ammonites offers to sacrifice to the Lord the first thing that comes from his house, only to be met by his beloved daughter, who he must now sacrifice to keep his word,
I too am being asked to sacrifice my first born to the magnificent, all caring, biker god, Bolder.
To assuage his wounded pride I must change the name of the one and only Hyphen Girl to "Bold"
What would you do?
A) Send HG to Boulder for a week, let him deal with the disorder that is 13, in hopes that by day 2 he'd send her packing name and all.
B) Change the name, for what's in a name? A rose by any other would smell as sweet.
C) Entreat the blogosphere to so press the Bold with indignation and bribes that he might renounce his claim on HG?
D) Please feel free to add
Taper: what doesn't kill you makes you ready to roll. 6 days baby!

e) begin whispering to the p-dawg posse that change is afoot ... expect a younger, hipper, teen-card carryin', soccer champion p-dawg leader (and three cheers for HG & team!)
Definitely A. I don't think he'd even last a day! :)
I vote A, Bold does not know what he is in for. :)
Congrats to HG the new soccer star!
Congrats on the victory. The Tribe takes another sport to the cleaners.
And go for A. The way Bold freaked out about his dishwasher being down, it would be a blast watching him deal with a teenager for a week.
Of course, he would just spend lots of money and attempt to make the plan backfire. And with a 13 year old...
It's all about the shopping!
I'd say A. Bold wouldn't know what to do and would be sending her back asap.
i would first of all like to congratulate the artist formely known as hyphen gurl on her big win.
with that said:
B)
or, your appliances will be a plague on you and your family for a thousand years...
SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HG, in this it's safe to say that your vote counts most of all! Have a great time in Florida, and keep TriMama on the straight and narrow!
I think HyphenGirl is already pretty darn bold--just like every girl that successfully pulls off being 13. Let her Boldly pick her own name, and we'll inflict her on Bolder from Boulder this summer during our high altitude, IMWI training camp.
Best of luck in Florida. You have come a long way and you are ready to rock it. Enjoy the day!!!
I'm so cheering you on Trimamma, best of luck in FL and BIG congrats to HG on a stellar first season!! With all the drama that goes with being 13, I'm sure this will be one of those good things she'll look back on!
