Sometimes though, it just doesn't work. That's when you imagine that some imaginary audience is watching (and caring) about your situation and, at least they are keeping score of your good deeds and the injustice - even if you yourself have to swallow your pride and repeat the most helpful expression known to any woman or man..."yes dear".
i don't know why i find this so hysterical. it must be because its SO TRUE. but all this talk of "building equity" and swallowing pride makes me wonder if we are in fact being manipulated. i don't know about you but i hate feeling like i'm "in trouble" when i'm out on a ride, and i hate feeling like "uh oh, boy am i going to get it when i get home."
