1st Annual Minnesota Oscar's Party!

AMENDMENT: Let it be know that the Oscar's poll, whereby attendees select a winner for each category, was won this year with an unprecedented 17 correct choices. This record replaces the previous big winner, Nicole Younts, who typically was able to win with 13 - 14 correct. So, even though few movies were actually viewed by the winner, her vivacious reading led her to the win. Congratulations, ANNE DOUGHERTY!

While I was living in San Francisco, I started holding an Annual Oscar's Party, and it was always a great party. I gathered all of my favorite women (and Travis!) to eat Trader Joe's food, drink champagne and talk about celebrities. Oh, the fun!

Well, the tradition is continuing in Minnesota. I invited over my favorite Minnesotans, and even though there were less people here, we were still able to make our opinions know. Which is really what the Oscar's party is all about - a chance for me to spend time with the strong, confident women who are such an important part of my life. Thanks, ladies!

This year's attendees: Tennille, Paula, Anne and Tracy
(Margaret and Katie P. were missing because they were sick, but we'll catch them next year.)

Don't you just love the Oscars's!
