Unlike last year, I didn’t bother to
get anything waxed or tanned this go around. My boyfriend had reassured me that
I didn’t need to do any of those things, and he loved me just the way I was (Refer to New Year's Cock Block – Part 1). I’m
pretty sure that was just his nice way of saying “Please don’t come around me
looking like a lobster with a bad case of syphilis ever again!” Either way,
waxing was out of the question and Gillette and I would be friends ‘til the end.
But I did still need to get in shape. I had a hot new dress that had “Let’s get sexual.” written all over it, yet I had a bad case of tamale body. I think the term is self-explanatory, but in case you are not familiar with it, tamale body is a body type one might
obtain around the holidays after consuming a dozen or so too many of my mom's tamales. You start looking a little like Sponge Bob, but taller. I
tried a new trendy gym Downtown which was short lived. The moment I stepped foot
through the fancy double doors, a gust of wind hit me in the ass and wheezed “Get oOUUT.” This place was
equipped with super hot beef cakes, male and female, both who I gave the Joey Tribbiani "How you doin'" nod to during my tour. But it was
clear this tamale bod and the hole in my pants were not welcome here. You gotta work out before you go there.
So I decided to pick up hiking again. It was a great way to get a natural tan and avoid turning into a baboon’s bright red ass again. It wasn't until New Year’s Eve day, that I fell. Never mind the man eating coyote I
spotted on the mountain or the mountain top one-legged yoga poses I did for shameless Instrgram selfies. Never mind that I went off the trail, ignoring those silly signs that say "Danger", "Keep Out", "Stay on Trail". It wasn’t until I was on semi-flat ground, close to the bottom that I slid for home base. I'm kind of obsessed with cute little old people, and I got distracted by one of those cutie patooties wearing a neon yellow tank top and jamming out with his Beats by Dre headphones. Then BAM! I was airborne
and hit the ground with the full right side of my body, and slid down what was left of the mountain. “Son of bitch!” I was in pain, covered in dirt with new holes in
my yoga pants, and Mr. Cutie Pie was clueless while he kept jogging into the sunset and toward the coyote. I should mention that when I saw the coyote earlier I was only afraid for a second. When I noticed that there were a group of people much closer to it than I was, I was relieved that he would eat them first giving me a head start on my getaway. I had scrapes and gashes of skin missing from my ankle up to my butt cheek. I was a hot mess express. I was hideous.
What I was most upset about was
that I now had to wear pants on my hot date. How can I be sexual in pants? Mountain - 1, Hot Mess Express - 0. I hobbled to my car defeated, and drove my homeless looking self home.
But wait, that's not all folks!As if that wasn't karma enough for my coyote thoughts, in the shower my
shower caddy fell on top of me! I’ve had this fucking caddy for 9 months and
this is the time it decides to fail me? FML... Of course it fell on top
of me along with my Costco size shampoo and conditioner bottles. And of course they all landed right on my leg… the wounded warrior leg. Hard. “Son of a bitch!” I now had a new protruding lump on the side of my knee as big as a tennis ball (in addition to the one on my ankle I got earlier). I cursed the universe once again and after I slipped in the shower, I gave up and
got the hell out of there! I threw on a pair of fake leather pants that make swishy sounds when my thighs rub together and headed to le boyfriend’s . Nothing was going to ruin our sexual night dammit!
I let myself in and crept upstairs to his bedroom where he was
sleeping. I like to be creepy that way and the hobble gave it some extra charm. I didn’t want to wake him, so I laid down in bed next to him and started crying. He didn't wake up, so I started crying louder. I accidentally woke him up and when he asked me what was wrong, I cried out the whole story and peeled down my pants to show him the evidence. Despite my disability, he took me to a fancy and romantic French
restaurant where my pleather pants were shunned by all. I didn't let it get me down. I was
girl with a bum leg and an appetite!
Instead of a hot steamy aloe vera rub like last year, I got a hot and steamy Neosporin rub that night. It was pretty sexual. I didn't get any action for a week. Our nights went something like this:

“Oh yeah…”
