Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We had a trunk full of dress-up clothes when I was a kid, and I still remember some of the bizarre things it contained. My brother and I got YEARS of enjoyment out of that stuff.
So did I--I think it had some bridesmaid dresses of my moms and I remember this big silly sheet that she apparently used in a belly dance class she took once.
But how is Rose old enough to enjoy dress up?? Isn't she like, a year old?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My neighbor had a box like that. Hers had a lot of 60s mod stuff and some lingerie things that made great princess accessories.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally had, and loved, a dress-up trunk! Good one.

Wow, I sure had a deprived childhood.

We had all my Nana's old hats, which were awesome.

The beauty of baby boomer parents is that I think half the ridiculous dress-up stuff I had was actual clothes my mother actually wore in the 60s/70s. I remember a skirt with little mirrors sewn on to it.

That which does not kill you should RUN
Arrrgh. So, I've been emailing with the managing editor of another journal about another freelance job. And the job is mine if I want it. So yesterday I sent an email indicating that yes, I do want it, and what are the next steps to go forward?
The fucking email has been coming back with a permanent "undeliverable" error message for 24 hours now. Should I call him? I don't want him to think I'm a flake.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, that sounds like a situation where calling is a good idea.

They're 1 hour behind me, so if I assume business hours of 9-5, should I call after 10 or so, since there always seems to be some fire to put out first thing in the morning?
