Brunch tomorrow

I have re-scheduled this Brunch at my house 3 times now, so tomorrow is IT.  I only have a handful of people coming over and that's a good thing, less stress that way.  I still need to clean-up downstairs, as there are clothes everywhere and just a lot of stuff.  I was hoping to get rid of a lot of stuff in the big Team in Training yard sale that was going on last weekend, one of the reasons I post-poned the brunch (again), but that didn't work out like I envisioned it. 

John went and took a whole bunch of stuff that my sister and parents donated, and there were going to be lots of other people there but I didn't want to go (setting up at 5:30 was just too early for me) so there was a lot of stuff I didn't want to send as I didn't think he'd be able to really price it the way I wanted.  A lot of the stuff we thought would sell didn't, like some great kid's toys my sister gave us, so I think it was good I didn't send "my" stuff along.  I figure we'll do a yard sale here, in the neighborhood.  Put up some signs, sit out front, it'll be great. 

But first, Brunch!

The Menu;
Mimosas (of course!)
Coffee
Chile Rellenos Casserole
Baked French Toast with orange marmalade and walnuts
Popovers
Homemade Peach Jam

That's it, I hope it's enough food.  I think there will be...  not including John and I...  7-10 people total.  There are some folks I'm not certain about.  I changed the date so many times I confused people, and the stupid invitations were also totally lame and confusing.

It's supposed to be a Houseparty party - www.houseparty.com - for the Hamilton Beach Brewmaster.  I was chosen to host a party and demonstrate the new Brewmaster Coffeemaker.  If people like it, I have coupons if they want to buy one.  But of course they don't have to.  The cool thing is I got the coffeemaker for free, just for showing it off to my friends.  I'm not selling it so there's no pressure or anything.  The not so cool thing is the houseparty website invites are totally lame and even though I changed my party date, it kept looking like my brunch was still on 11/8.  And some people thought it was just an invite to check out Houseparty, and didn't see it was an invite to come over for brunch, so they saved it to look at later. 

What have I learned?  That I'm not a big fan of Houseparty and if I were to host another party in the future, I would not rely on their invitation system, but would instead use eVite or some other service.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
