Which unfortunately makes me think of Ice Ice Baby from Vanilla Ice since the bass lines are virtually the same. But that is a great song from Billy Joel.<br /><br />Now get back to your writing...no pressure!<br /><br />SIS BrenSisters-in-Synchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604043398648797517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-67665301938199650782009-11-11T16:56:30.486-05:002009-11-11T16:56:30.486-05:00Tori,

Which is why I'm keeping this short. Shouldn't be on-line period, but wanted to check in with my SISters! <br /><br />Great post, Brenda, and I'm rooting for you making that ten chap deadline.

Does it have to do with the Zodiac?<br /><br />I would think of myself as an Earth sign. I don't like pressure either, or confrontation for that matter. I do like every thing to just go along peacefully. But when I have to work under pressure, I do okay.<br /><br />You said "the harder I try, the harder it is to get something done". Does that mean that if I just chill out, my book will write itself? How wonderful is that?

Exactly how many words/paragraphs constitute a chapter?<br /><br />I don't think my work suffers either. I have learned something about myself over the past couple years. I don't know that I would call myself a perfectionist, but if something isn't done correctly (when it could be) it absolutely drives me nuts.<br /><br />BrenSisters-in-Synchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604043398648797517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-82310005594581258092009-11-11T11:30:21.554-05:002009-11-11T11:30:21.554-05:00Being an Earth sign,I don't do well under pres...Being an Earth sign,I don't do well under pressure.

Trying to keep each of them straight. Which bank is best for which deal? What are the book values of these five cars. How can I get these 5 deals in and out of the finance office quick enough so #'s 4 and 5 don't change their mind. It is quite a rush and I perform better. <br /><br />I love games also. I have always told everyone that you and I need to go on a sister episode of wheel of fortune. We would kick some major butt!!!SIS Brandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-27193811572465917862009-11-11T07:59:38.548-05:002009-11-11T07:59:38.548-05:00Brenda,

I'm taking our challenge very seriously and while I won't disclose how far along I am, I can tell you that it's further than, um...chapter 1. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Can you hear that?<br /><br />Great post though! I've seen many a people choke on Wheel of Fortune. I actually think I'd do okay. Maybe.<br /><br />I'm probably better under pressure. I do almost everything last minute. But I don't think my work suffers for it but my dusty house does.<br /><br />Happy Wednesday to you as well!<br /><br />SIS BarbSisters-in-Synchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604043398648797517noreply@blogger.com
