My Home Party Days Are Done.

Not that I've hosted a large number of home parties, but I've had a few. You know -- Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Mary Kay, Premier Jewelry, etc. This morning I hosted what I've decided will be my last party. It was Jessica's inaugural Usborne Books party, and nobody came -- except Jackie. I sent probably 30 mailed invitations and invited everyone I know on Facebook, and not a one person came.

I think Jess was relieved to not have to face a large group of people, but I felt bad that I couldn't help her turn a profit on her first show. And, I must admit, I'm a bit disappointed.

So I'm done. I think we've all outgrown the home party phase, and I know nobody wants to drive up here to attend one anyway.

Okay -- I'm over it now. Done feeling sorry for myself. I put forth a valiant effort, I can say that much.
