Helpful Memory Trick

True story:

Once upon a time, there lived a DapperGentleman. He was a forgetful fellow. Every morning as he walked down the hall to the elevator he would forget if he had locked the front door.

DapperGentleman: Did I lock the door?

LovelyLady: I'm not sure, I was waiting for the elevator...

Several Years Later...

DapperGentleman: Shoot, Did I lock the door?

LovelyLady: Every morning you ask me this.... Every morning... You know what would be fun and helpful at the same time? If you sang a song. That way when you locked the door you would sing the song on the way to the elevator. Then at the elevator you would know that you locked the door because you would be singing the song... You could sing: Lock the Door, Lock the Door, I'm so good, I Locked the Door.

The Very Next Day:

As the DapperGentleman locked the front door he sang:

Lock the door, Look the door, One potato, two potato, Lock the Door. 

LovelyLady Narrating to Audience: It has been 3 weeks since I suggested the song, and instead of annoyance at the same question every morning, I am greeted with a lovely song at the elevator. I must admit, I am one cleaver lady ;)

Best Part of Binge Watching TV

Gilmore Girls is on Netflix! Gilmore Girls is on Netflix!

I have all the DVD and watch them at least 3 times a year, 

but now everyone who has Netflix has access too!!!!

My most favourite part of binge watching TV is singing along with the theme songs.

Here's Gilmore Girls, with Lyrics ;)

Sometimes learning the lyrics is challenging like with this one:

It took me almost until the last season to get it right. 

Once I did, it was pure magic.

If you are one of my neighbours and are reading this....

Sorry for singing so loudly, but feel free to sing along.

"Where you lead... I will follow... "

P.S. TheDapperGentleman sings along too

Nom Nom Nom...

The yummiest apple babies I've ever had ;)

It still surprises me that growing your own food tastes so good.

These apple babies were delicious!

Sweeter than normal apples, and amazing :)

Grumpy Cat has a Movie

Grumpy cat has a movie!!!!!

Here'e the trailer:

It looks like one of those classic awful movies.

Fortunately, I am a lover of bad movies.

I believe that someone somewhere but their heart and soul into the film.

Even though it's a terrible film, it deserves to be watched by at least one person ;)

Amalie-ing my neighbours

Have you ever watched the film Amalie? It's actually one of my all time favourite films. The best thing I learned from this film is to build relationships with your neighbours.

In the past I did this though saying hi, then noticing things about my neighbours and creating wild stories to explain their habits and behaviours.

When I heard odd noises I start to imagine living beside serial murders who burry their victims in the walls... Then I'd start to keep an eye on the shared walls to see if there is any buckling over time.

One time I noticed that my neighbour kept odd hours, and I started to imagine that she was a call girl. Not just a street corner call girl, but a high priced one because she was so sweet!

As time progresses, I got to know everyone more and more, and these stories shattered. It's okay because new people move in all the time :)
