COVID19, climate change, last Tuesday's Presidential Debate, what could be scarier? Well keep an eye on your plasma levels, my sweeties, cause here comes Halloween. And, I've been bitten once again, ouch!

 

 

 

 

When one grows up in an Italian family, with a grandma that cooked 'all day long', one grows up & 'out' fast! Mom was forced to buy our back to school clothes at Lane Bryants, for the plus-sized.  Lane Bryant had cute fashions, and the store had its own sizing charts. Size 14 would be marked '8 in pleasantly plump.'A  girl my elementary school, who was standing behind me in line, spotted my size 8 label sticking out of my jumper. Suddenly she yells, "Size 8, no way!" I still remember that loud, stupid, skinny stick!
