Displaced…

And no…not by “Hurricane” Earl. As previously predicted, he was true to his genetic predisposition for failure. All promises no action. Unless you include being just annoying enough for me to spend 4 hours cleaning up after him. Let’s see…annoying, broken promises, dirty, blowing smoke and no follow through…perhaps we should start calling them husbands as opposed to hurricanes! Six one half dozen of the other. We’d never run out of names…that’s for sure. In any event, displaced. In an effort to displace my fat cells, I somehow got off track and displaced my entire being. No small feat for sure. I come to you tonight from a new home. Traumatizing at best. However comma, it would appear I have a hot neighbor….situation immediately downgraded to critical. Had I known I was going to have a hot neighbor I might have moved sooner or lost weight or something. Sometimes these things just creep up on you. Who knew if you didn’t pay your mortgage for a year they’d ask you to leave? My attempt at ghetto fabulousness failed. So here I am…in the land of eye candy. I prefer chocolate but he’ll do for now. Only one problem…I’m just fat enough to ensure my new neighbor won’t be peering at me with binoculars whilst I sunbath. He bought his house. I wouldn’t want to scare him into a short sale.

New house equals new leash on life. It’s a fatty trick. And I know you do it too so buck up little campers! Here are my personal favorites from the first week in the new house. Promise: ” Now that I have a pantry I can organize my food better and lose weight.” – Reality- Does it matter if you put little Debbie on top of or behind Cap’n Crunch? No. They are no good for each other…and for the record he likes it from behind. Anyway.  Promise: “I’m going to eat out less and cook more.” Reality- Was there a random force seeping through the walls of my old house luring me to Taco Bell? No. I hated to cook there and I will hate to cook here. Promise: “Now that I live within walking distance of a gym I can run there and work out every day.” Reality- In order to get to the gym I have to pass a Dunkin Donuts, a pizza place, a Mexican place and a Subway. I won’t make it past Dunkin. Not to mention, I have no membership for said gym. Much like my mortgage, I believe they require payment to stay. Last but not least…and my personal favorite promise to myself: “I will befriend the women in the neighborhood for long walks and cookie baking.” Reality: I wasn’t Martha Fuckin Stewart a week ago and I’m certainly not looking for an alter ego with a rap sheet!
A.Housewifey types get on my last nerve. B. The only long walks I take are when my car breaks down or no one will drive me to Taco Bell. C. The day you see me baking cookies that end up anywhere other than my soft pallet….take a fuckin picture! This is why it took me 32 years to get married and no time to decide children weren’t a good idea.

So my best guess has me at around 350lbs by Thanksgiving and banging the neighbor by Christmas. I love the holidays. I’m working off the theory that he’ll be cold and bored by December and the combination of my sexless life and excess fat stores will be enough to win him over to the other side. Who doesn’t love a fatty in winter? Fat is acceptable below 32 degrees. Once you get into the 40’s you reach the danger zone….must lose weight here. Maybe I should move to Alaska. Sounds like a plan. I’ll ask my new neighbor to come with. The new house has a working fireplace. I say working bcs the last house had a fireplace…it just didn’t work. It required repair. Need I say more. To get my live in handy man back for all the nights I missed snuggling in front of the gas logs, I plan to burn this one every night. Even in the summer. My plan is to set the house ablaze with thousands of candles, fire up the gas logs, drop rose petals everywhere and wear a lace thong..nothing else…every night when he comes home….for 365 days…until he bangs me. It will be like a scene from “Carrie” minus the period part. I’m not into that. Gee… this new house could be revolutionizing my life after all.

Have I mentioned moving sucks? I hate getting use to new people. I know hot guy will be tons of fun but what about the geriatrics on the other side? Will they be offended when I blast Tupac and Biggie (RIP) whilst sitting on the front stoop with my double deuce? That’s what I’m hoping for. If they think I’m an overweight gangsta type maybe they will be so afraid they won’t come out of the house. Until they die. That could be any day now. This charade would only have to go on for a few weeks tops. I foresee only one problem…pork…pigs…po po…Johnny…lots a cops in this neighborhood! No wonder nobody wanted to rent this house! How I am suppose to “work my second job” with the law all up in the hood! I fear they already have their eyes on me. Let’s face it, it’s hard not to. 345lbs rolling down the street in a “do rag” attempting to jog. I’d call the papers if I wasn’t the story line! Maybe hot guy can be my cover. That’s it…I’ll need to dig deep into him…his life to see if he’s worthy. Strip search, cavity check…all of the above. You can never be too sure. Either way I can use him for something. I think I’ll bake him some cookies and stop by for a quick….hello. Hello!
