You know those people who are just consummate hosts? The type who not only throws the best parties, but also makes sure no one's glass is ever empty and stays late to clean up at other people's parties. We all know one.
This year, a group of us came together to plan a surprise birthday party for our friend Andie, who is just one of those hostesses. Measuring yourself to the standard-bearer is a pretty good way to inspire greatness.
