My mind has been absorbed in my recent change in life.......I have changed jobs and recently joined a new agency. I love it!!! I have my own office, more responsiblities and clients to please. Life is good now!! I went from a old school agency to a new, fresh, spirit filled agency. The owner is a really good friend of mine, plays the drums in faithLIFT (our band at church), his wife I love dearly as a friend, and he is my age. We are conquering the insurance world with a fresh look and approach to every thing.

IF YOU'RE CHOKING ON AN ICE CUBE, SIMPLY POUR A CUP OF BOILING WATER DOWN YOUR THROAT. PRESTO! THE BLOCKAGE WILL INSTANTLY REMOVE ITSELF.<br /><br />2. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.<br /><br />3. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.<br /><br />4. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.<br /><br />5. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.<br /><br />6. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.<br /><br />7. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.<br /><br />8. REMEMBER - EVERYONE SEEMS NORMAL UNTIL YOU GET TO KNOW THEM.<br /><br />9. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.<br /><br /><br />DAILY THOUGHT: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS!!Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-77836860217654229092008-04-17T08:41:00.000-07:002008-04-17T08:44:46.115-07:00Make you think....Yesterday I attended a Zig Ziglar conference for work in Macon, Georgia. I truly enjoyed every moment of the guest speaker. Here are a few ear/mind catching quotes that Khrish (the speaker) said...they will make you stop & think.<br /><br />97 % of us work in a comfort zone, 3% work in and effort zone<br /><br />" If you want to get the best out of a man, you must look for the best that is in him."<br /><br />"Food can't flourish on a mountain top, it must dwell low in the valleys to prosper."<br /><br />" You can't be something to everyone, but to someone you'll be all they ever have."<br /><br />"All men dream, but not equally."<br /><br />"Don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."<br /><br />"Everyone is in the Tsunami business, we must first be in the ripple business."<br /><br />"You can have everything in life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want."<br /><br />My Favorite:"When passion is formed, you get a glimpse of who you really are."Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-66662336357507611552008-03-30T12:59:00.000-07:002008-03-30T13:21:42.737-07:00FINALLY!!!!!<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX9I7LVSN0lNlaiEe60OmiLozbFiX9mE8tJ5yFvL4IveRm4dhBkZIU35e2zW0pwmasOZMK5A-oIF5u3XN_98UoaWP8WancIDFCsgMxPclFKGUTdz538ntFnCj_FeLYsKvzVQDBo1wgkA/s1600-h/variety+of+girls+069.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

God said, "Your angel will be<br />waiting for you and will take care of you."The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything<br />but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will<br />also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people<br />talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the<br />most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and<br />care, your angel will teach you how to speak."<br />"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel<br />will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.""Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means<br />risking its life.""But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.'" God said, "Your<br />angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back<br />to Me, even though I will always be next to you."At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be<br />heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my<br />angel's name."God said, "You will simply call her, Mom."</div>Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-51136636119538825172008-03-18T07:20:00.000-07:002008-03-18T07:22:41.207-07:00Tuesday's thought!I stole this quote from a good friend of mine.

What gifts are being offered to us daily and we are to blind to open them? I've always been an open minded person, but I've especially allowed myself to be over the past two years. I have opened package after package gifts that God is blessing me with everyday and have been truly amazed. Of all the packages my favorite is the AWESOME friendships that I have developed. People who are truly amazing, awesome, intelligent, talented, spritual, and loving people. My life would be boring with out these people in my life.........thank you! Wether it's church co-workers, church band members, blog friends, church camp friendship rekinled, new couples that have moved in, new church members, Pastors & wifes and the list goes on & on...............Thank you for your friendship, you inspire me everyday.<br /><br />So again I ask you, What gifts are being offered to you daily and you are to blind to open them? Challenge yourself to be more open minded, untie the ribbons, you'll be amazed and what gifts God is giving you.Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-69006783325256233452008-02-26T06:36:00.000-08:002008-02-26T06:41:03.989-08:00Update!Well Abigail got her wish....a HOT pink cast. She was such a big girl and never even cried. I was so proud of her! She has learned how to "milk it for all it's worth".....yesterday I picked her up from Miss Wyndy's house and she says" I don't feel good Mama." so I say," Whats wrong baby?".........Abigail says," I need to go to my Huney's (Cal's Mom) house and get some sweet tea and I'll be all better." I thought it was so funny, they sure do learn early.Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-63257041106800364302008-02-22T07:57:00.000-08:002008-02-22T08:02:19.804-08:00Friday Frown!Well, it has finally happened........a broken bone. Wednesday night at church, Abigail tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground. We thought she had just sprained it, but needless to say we went to the ER last night....and it's broken. (again, when I get my camera up and running again, I'll post pictures.) They put a temp. splint on it last night until we could get into the bone & joint dr. today. Abigail is hoping for a pink cast, we shall see. I'll keep you guys posted over the weekend.Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-4581794193407018232008-02-19T11:00:00.001-08:002008-02-19T11:00:59.987-08:00Funny quote for the dayA bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-10916412069974421752008-02-15T10:20:00.000-08:002008-02-15T10:21:20.635-08:00Happy Valentines Day....a day late<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkj2gH_8lz4QEr2lfLwzQXfFsEHmtre9_hpvS4aFPOTZhxQtvsEp37afOrQwoAwRU7iArD1Jt8paOPVV2vhtrNEU6pUlzgqI5OLNAa9MwKexZMHJ1FQQkCpGLdQbHi_P2FtaqGt8bFEg/s1600-h/valentine+babies.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167273690804071778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkj2gH_8lz4QEr2lfLwzQXfFsEHmtre9_hpvS4aFPOTZhxQtvsEp37afOrQwoAwRU7iArD1Jt8paOPVV2vhtrNEU6pUlzgqI5OLNAa9MwKexZMHJ1FQQkCpGLdQbHi_P2FtaqGt8bFEg/s320/valentine+babies.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> </div>Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-54664483640187267152008-02-08T08:47:00.001-08:002008-02-08T08:48:12.638-08:00Friday Funny<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguPieN6duayD06z9-aUVdQ1Y5YRZnjc9hrvCScA9lJ1WxfIjEEm1XH5r1jVmrWmFY9J9Q-4OQ77ovqxjrJTYUymRZ0mIAKvz9l8sWd66M1skspEfmxwBDPPydoWMEByeGf-7uMGpZf4Q/s1600-h/Cows+milk.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5164652150056376722" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguPieN6duayD06z9-aUVdQ1Y5YRZnjc9hrvCScA9lJ1WxfIjEEm1XH5r1jVmrWmFY9J9Q-4OQ77ovqxjrJTYUymRZ0mIAKvz9l8sWd66M1skspEfmxwBDPPydoWMEByeGf-7uMGpZf4Q/s320/Cows+milk.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-20780389374383039282008-02-06T13:18:00.000-08:002008-02-06T13:22:55.483-08:00Wordless Wednesday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdO3gbL8Wk-vUwplxEWI2KE_FmdBMfpqsz7YjbCiOKxasfis_fCodPWyAzXlTqHydNwgCwhu0R8cT4fW-KtRjuXJD81_gjt9Sa7o4lYCWXUyM-UTYoibzE_XdHDfpRLOr1PYFib3pqQ/s1600-h/KKids+063.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163980271142394242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPdO3gbL8Wk-vUwplxEWI2KE_FmdBMfpqsz7YjbCiOKxasfis_fCodPWyAzXlTqHydNwgCwhu0R8cT4fW-KtRjuXJD81_gjt9Sa7o4lYCWXUyM-UTYoibzE_XdHDfpRLOr1PYFib3pqQ/s320/KKids+063.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Addison, Abigail & Carley Myles playing on the slip-n-slide last summer at "Water Day" at church.</div>Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-845324478611128670.post-29068847014608824482008-02-05T07:55:00.000-08:002008-02-05T08:00:22.241-08:00Another Crawford.....No, I'm not pregnant...Hopefully that part will come this spring. We have a new dog and we are soooo excited. He is a Vizsla (european dog, do a google search) and his name is Ringo. He was the runt of the whole litter, so he will not get really big. All of his brothers & sisters are 20+ lbs, Ringo is only 10 lbs. at 11 weeks. I took several pictures of him to show everyone....but someone has moved my camera cord from our computer and I can't find it. Once the culpit is caught, I'll get some posted.Elsahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01204272979215033030noreply@blogger.com3
