I equate this to smoking, though I&#8217;m slowly coming to the realization that quitting smoking was much easier than making a lifestyle change. I feel like an Alchemist believing with all my heart that it can be done. In this particular case, it <strong><em>IS<\/em><\/strong> possible to achieve a transformation! I believe!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m already 1 bottle of water in as attempt to cleanse my body of the impurities I had subjected it to over the years. I&#8217;ve been like my own personal science project, putting in this and that, watching the results and deciding if its something I want to try again.<\/p>\n<p>I <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sankinator.com\/blog\/2011\/12\/01\/here-i-go-again-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\">love<\/a><\/span> my <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sankinator.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/19\/conceding-is-not-failing-in-fact-ive-hit-the-jackpot\/\" target=\"_blank\">wife<\/a><\/span> Tami, she is the easiest target in the world. I love her for that. She is a real trooper for putting up with me and my jokes which come fast and furious on most days.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take this morning for example, after she scared the shit out of me while I was working. I had my backed turned with my headphones blasting Metallica in my brain and I can&#8217;t see her coming. She taps me on the back&#8230; my blood pressure spikes immediately and\u00a0 my <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sankinator.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/01\/one-of-lifes-defining-moments\/\" target=\"_blank\">fight<\/a><\/span> or flight instinct takes over and while this is happening, simultaneously, I&#8217;m doing my best to contain myself from ripping her fucking head off and pulling her vagina through her throat with my bare hands (pew). You can imagine the immediate stress I&#8217;m under.<\/p>\n<p>So, I finally calm down, she is done laughing and asks me the <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sankinator.com\/blog\/2011\/12\/01\/here-i-go-again-thinking\/\" target=\"_blank\">life<\/a><\/span> changing question that couldn&#8217;t wait until I came upstairs to go to the bathroom for the millionth fucking time. She turns to leave my office and notices that I put our wedding picture on the tower so I could see it.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tami: Awe, you put our wedding picture up? (another one of those ridiculous questions) That&#8217;s sweet.<\/p>\n<p>Me: Yeah, I did it to remind me of the source of my every day stresses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I thought it was <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sankinator.com\/blog\/2011\/03\/12\/wicked-and-i-dont-mean-elphaba-wicked\/\" target=\"_blank\">funny<\/a><\/span> and I was joking.
