Saturday Night Live has had its ups and downs the past few years, but they hit one out of the park this weekend. Tina Fey is the PERFECT Sarah Palin. I will now be voting for McCain just so we can see more Sarah Palin impersonations from Tina Fey. I was laughing hysterically. Hil-arious!

Virtual Bumper Sticker
You know those “Proud Parent of an Honor Roll” bumper stickers? I wonder if they have “Proud Spouse” bumper stickers. If they do, I think I’d like to get one, because I am one proud spouse this week!
Sean is official. He is now a Certified Financial Planner. The certificate arrived in the mail just last week. It took six months of intense coursework, countless hours of studying, thousands of pages of readings, and two days of comprehensive exams. And Sean did it all with flying colors! He was so diligent and dedicated this past year as he worked towards this certificate. It's a big deal in the industry and will open up many new opportunities for his career.
Way to go Sean! I am so proud of you!

Week in Pictures
I’m really into news, politics, and current events. I also LOVE great photography, so you can only imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon MSNBC’s Week in Pictures. I found this gem a few years ago and it quickly became part of my Friday routine.The pictures are from all around the world. Some are funny, some are artistic, and some are poignant. All in all, it’s a great way to recap the week. Enjoy!

The Girl with a Plan
Hi. My name is Paige, and I am a compulsive planner.
There, I said it. I always like to have a plan. I think it’s the organizer/perfectionist in me. I don’t know, I guess I just like to be prepared. It’s like that old saying, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” I plan little everyday things, so you can only imagine what happened to me when I decided to plan a trip to Europe.
That’s right! We’re going to Europe. In less than a month Sean and I will be flying across the Atlantic for a two week European vacation. We will be visiting London, Rome, Florence, Pisa, and Paris. I’ve been dreaming about visiting Europe my whole life, so I’m SO excited that it is finally here.
Well, I was definitely not going to “plan to fail” Europe, so of course the mad planning commenced. The only problem is, is that I can’t stop planning! I’ve been driving myself crazy with planning. I seriously have to stop. I’ve spent the past 8 months immersed in travel books, travel Web sites, articles, reviews, maps, spreadsheets, etc. (and yes, I said spreadsheets with an s. I have multiple spreadsheets okay—that’s how bad it is!) I even checked out some silly video called “Para Italiano” from the library. I watched it for 5 minutes and then decided I already know how to say gelato and pizza, so I’m good to go. How do you say compulsive planner in Italian?
Anyway, I’m here today to proclaim that starting tonight I am going to officially stop planning! No more travel books, or reading reviews, I’m just going to go…well...unless anyone has any last minute Europe tips for me. If you do, just let me know…I think I’ve still got some room on my spreadsheets.
