Ahhh, Saturday, and the Seer's emotions take a dive. I sit like a lumpy queen bee among all the busy little worker bees, who are hammering and vacuuming and doing laundry and otherwise being irritating. However, the reason that real queen bees get away with it is that they spout babies, and I have no intention of going that far. But what can I do with all this guilt and no energy? If I don't change my ways, will my husband leave me for someone who polishes her silverware and brushes her hair? Should I learn how to cook meth in the basement and see if that turns me into Martha? No, Jeez, that's almost as bad as the baby thing. Guess I'll go heat up some coffee and take it from there.

P.S. Coral < most excellent suggestions for Lump Baskets, I especially like the tethered cord to retrieve dropped things.

Gee, do you think Martha Stewart HAS a recipe for meth? She could put it in her "Living" magazine right next to the article, "Decorating Your Prison Cell." Speaking of "Living", we could start a magazine called "Lumping", but who would we get to do all the work?
Damn it, now the sun is coming out. -SGH

Queen,
You have obviously left the bound of Lumptonia where all of the horrendous and torturous activity never takes place! In fact, there may be a law against it!If you need a reason not to feel guilty, just remember that a true lumptonian would never get off the couch even to warm up coffee. You have had a very busy day! Now back to the couch with you!
P.S. You simply must invest in some sun-blocking window covers. Sighs and whews are most difficult to accomplish effectively if there is (gulp) sunlight streaming in.

Dear Queen,
I should've asked this sooner.... something about your post was tumbling about my brain and just fell out of my left ear so I have an excuse...
Anyway, I want to know how you got all those little worker bees??? Can they be loaned out?Coral (CPE)

This is meaningless, but it might help:
Queen Bees continue to produce eggs, but only the UNfertilized eggs can become Queens. The fertilized eggs become workers. Just tell your worker bees that you really are different.
Maybe that'll do the trick?

**************************************************Well actually there were only three worker bees, my husband and son working on the back porch and son's girlfriend cleaning up his room and doing his laundry (she's young, foolish girl). But when all the worker bees are making noise it seems like there are A LOT MORE than three. They can be loaned out, next time they get that irritating I will send them right over. -Gracie

I found this in the Quarterly Lumptonian for Summer '92:
"I hate to drive down to Washington to buy crack, don't you? I never remember whether I'm supposed to hold out one finger or two, not to mention how much to tip, and the commute! So I've invited my dear friend Marion Berry to share some lovely home-made alternatives with us today."
"Before you got here, I bought four or five cases of generic No-Doz at the local warehouse purchasing club, and I've been popping them out of their little foil covers while waiting for you to arrive. Later we're going to stay up all night and make silver-petaled flowers out of the packaging in a sparkling holiday arrangement sure to please everyone."
"After crushing all the tablets on an organic granite mortar, you can see that Marion is estimating the amount of Elmer's glue needed pretty much by feel, then making little pyramids and irregular squares to resemble slightly off-white rocks.
Once they're dry -- it takes about two hours -- you're done! Wasn't that easy? If you plan to make these into stocking stuffers, wrap each piece in a corner of clear plastic wrap for that authentic look. Your holiday guests will think you've gone the extra mile for them this year."

Surely Martha would have had us chisel the mortar ourselves?
