I am in shock after witnessing photos of a very ugly baby.

I mean UG-LY.
 
There, I said it, there's such a thing as an ugly baby.

But quite seriously, babies are cute, it's a well-known fact. They are cute because they're chubby and they need you and you want one. (yikes how much am I revealing about myself here..) But a pretty baby? That is not a given.

And no, I will not post photos, because it happens to be the baby of someone I knew years ago and they just might accidentally stumble on this blog, and we're Facebook friends. Oh dear, I'm just digging a hole for myself.

Amelie

If you haven't seen Le Fabuleux destin de l'Amélie Poulain yet, you should. (Known as "Amelie" in the U.S.)
And then, you should listen to the music non-stop. I love the soundtrack!

It's just a great, happy, lovely movie.

I have nothing interesting to say

"Why waste cyberspace then?" you say.
Well, for one it's free, and there's plenty of it, so why not. A rule my husband lives by, incidentally :)
School is going pretty well. I love general conference weekend, but I wish we had Monday after off to recuperate and have time to do all the other stuff you needed to do... I really enjoy watching conference at home, it's so much cozier. I got to see friends this weekend, and I spent all weekend with my husband. No competitions, no lab, no performances, nothing to do really but stay at home together :)
And it's a good thing because this week's schedule is ridiculous. Team at 7 EVERY MORNING this week. (Yes I know, tour team does it anyway, but it's rarely every day for everyone). We have a show this weekend, and the parade on Saturday, so quite realistically dance is taking over my life this week.
Oh, and remember Elder Uchtdorf's talk on simplifying our lives? Yeah, that was meant for me. Really, what he meant to say was "when I was flying my plane the other day, I felt that Lydia needed to quit ballroom dance to maintain her sanity" (and my dignity too, I should add).

I know it's not Christmas yet...

But I got this awesome kit for my birthday, courtesy of my mother-in-law, and I couldn't stop myself from.... well, almost finishing it. Not quite though.

LOVE those mini pompoms

I really should've saved it for later, but it's so much fun! and cutting squares for a quilt is a great General Conference activity :)

"The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer."

Best way to tick off an atheist or an ultra-liberal feminist. :)
