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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Holy crap, that's not a whole lot of time...
But I'm sure there are plenty of good folks to help you make that transition in as smooth a manner as possible.

Good luck - and congratulations!

Congratulations!

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!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Thank you, your bunny-ness! hehehe!

[martelvonc.livejournal.com]

Better than Janina and Rorick they only had 8 days. But just like them we will do fine. We have a terrific Barony that works together and we might be paddling like crazy underneath on top we are gliding like swans....

Does this mean I get an invite to Celtic Happy Hour?

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!
