Busy Baroness

Well I have gotten the ok from the association governing the title and now am completely official. Then on the same day I received a huge assignment for school. I wonder what they would do if I sent it back with a note speaking in third person like, " The Baroness shall not be doing anymore work for the semester she is busy getting ready for meeting the Ambassador, two Galas, and on top of that planning a wedding to her "fiancee" who has really been her husband for almost four years. Also he recently found out that he has a little royal blood in him as well and we are now appealing to the Court of Lyon in Scotland to get more information.

Now i see why royalty has assistants! So to help ease the to-do list we have decided to sign up for an online concierge service called Red Butler. Their link is http://www.redbutler.com/ They are $35 a month and look very competent and we chose them over http://www.asksunday.com/. Both are competent companies but Red Butler seemed to have that extra polish we needed in order to arrange all the particulars for the social calendar that has come with the title. In addition we have just, out of shear luck, secured a very chic apartment in a sought after upscale elevator doorman building and we are getting a maid to come twice a month.

I have never been very good at pampering myself but since I found out about my title it seemed like a good excuse to make some little changes. Little changes turned into big changes and I look forward to what the future will bring.

I feel a bit of responsibility to the country the title comes from, even though there is no monarchy there anymore I would like to help the poor anyway that I could. So I am donating some money to a children's charity for the country. It is not much because I am essentially a broke Baroness until I finish law school. But in time I hope to do more. In this way I see that a title is in someway an obligation to try and do more for the country it comes from.
