You apply but you never think it'll be you.

I just got the word and the Seneschal posted it to the list.

I was chosen to be the next Baroness of Bright Hills.

I'm speechless and that's sayin' something.

Congratulations!!! When is the investiture?

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
It is February 3rd in Manchester, MD (Carroll County)

[orlacarey.livejournal.com]

Congrats! I'll look forward to seeing the Court. :)

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I only have a small clue what to do next. I need to talk to Their Excellencies Barre and Cordelia pronto.

[melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic! Congratulations, Martelle; I know you'll do a wonderful job!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
Suddenly I feel feel the need to run around in circles like a hamster about now....

Thank you!

Congratulations Your Nexcellency! I have a page of events to pre-reg for tomorrow, and yours will be first!

The only advice I have is to try to get some sleep the night before .

Your Cousin - Janina

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you Your Excellency! I hear ya on the sleep and I will obey!

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Congrats, Your Pretty-Darned-Goodness.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ladyrowansplace.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. If there is anything I can do, let me know.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Nail one of my feet to floor so I don't bolt.....
Thank you very much!

Twelve days and counting, Your Nexcellency!!!

You have just a little more time than we did. Talking to Barre and Cordelia is an 'excellent' idea.

My advice for the Investiture... you have a contest scheduled... do it and let either Baroness Ekaterina or Lady Rebekkah do all the other A&S stuff. You have to resign the Deputy A&S anyway. Your best bet is to just stand back, let the people do their jobs and let it happen around you.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm sending a memo to the autocrat as we speak. I fully agree, keep out from underfoot and let those in charge do their jobs!

Thank you!

[ladypyrate.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you, your bunny-ness! hehehe!

[bronx-baroness.livejournal.com]

Greetings Your Pretty Darn Goodness (not quite Excellency speak). You're humble and obedient head cook would like to know if there are any specialities of the Guild that should be prepared to grace Your Table?

Ivan and I are there for you if ever you need us. Congratulations!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you,

I love the food the cooks Guild makes but seeing that
we are only 13 days out I will not add to your burden
by requesting a special dish this time. I have
complete and utter faith that you will feed us stoopid
with the mouthwatering menu you posted!

Thank you!

[dr-zrfq.livejournal.com]

Many congratulations, Your Pretty-darn-Goodness, best wishes for your upcoming tenure, and hopes for a smooth transition.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Barre and Cordelia are the best and I know things will go smoothly.

Rock On!

[alina-s.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, my beginning weaving class runs from 10a until 3p, so I'll be very, very late for your investiture. But if there's anything I can do--like before 9:30a on that day or helping you finish any new garb or the like beforehand--let me know.

Re: Rock On!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I kindly accept your offer!

Right now I will not be making any major garb except for brocade coat for my persian (easy peezy), a hood for Eric, and a new t-tunic outfit for the son.

I could probably use help on Thursday Night of next week to be sure that I'm on track sewing wise and to slap me if I'm not.....I'm also off from work Friday the 2nd and will be sewing then too.

[herveus.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

So, have you tried out your Laurel Super Powers yet?

[greta-k.livejournal.com]

Make certain you have good help. A head retainer at the very least, to:
a) Keep you running on time
b) Keep you from being innundated by too many people
c) Keep you sane (well, mostly :-)

Congrats, soon-to-be fearless leader Birght Hills!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Yes, I need someone just to write down all the things that people tell me at events. The plug is a little loose in my brain and things tend to slowly leak out....

Martelle

[azpapillion.livejournal.com]

Congrats Martel! Well deserved... :)

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[belfebe.livejournal.com]

Absolutely fabulous! I am so happy for you! Let us know if you need anything :-D

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you, you may just hear from me........

[cfram.livejournal.com]

Many congratulations, Your Pretty-darn-Goodness. I wish we could be there but we already have University commitments. Anything we can do for you at University?

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

I'm tortured as it is. There are a lot of classes I would have liked to taken.

but thank you!

:-(

[lady-eliz.livejournal.com]

WOO-HOO! Yea you! If you want any advice from a former Landed Baroness, give me a buzz.

[nikulai.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!!!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you oh homeowner to be!

[isenglass.livejournal.com]

Have you found a replacement for your Tempore job yet? If I don't get the KMoAS job, I'd be happy if you considered me for it.

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Whoo Hoo!

Let Karen know and I'll drop her a note too. One other person asked about it but I've not heard any reply back.

Cool! Thank you!
