The 4th Annual Margarita Throwdown 2010

Another great Throwdown! Twelve entries this year and they were all great! But there can only be one winner....Kiwi Margarita! Congratulations to Gina Miller...this year's Queen. It was a tough competition and every contestant brought their A-game. How I'm able to pack in 20+ people in this apartment...I don't know. But I make it work. A few peeps weren't able to make it...but there's always next year!

I have to say that I'm so very lucky to have the friends I do...old and new. This whole thing started at a time when I was pretty down recovering from a hard two years of completing a master's thesis and a break-up. I was a bit at my wits end. But the one thing that helped me keep my sanity...is my friends and family. One day I was tired of being depressed and figured I should just throw a party. Not for me...but for the friends who've each helped me in their own way. By making me laugh, hanging out, listening, and giving me a hug when I needed it. It was so much fun...I had to make sure I did it again. And again. And every year I'm grateful...
