So, we went to Waterloo (crappy iowa town about 1.5 hours from Ames) friday and spent the night at my inlaws (love them!) and guess who forgot her Pristiq? I remembered the other meds, but the pristiq is in sample packs so it is not with my other meds and was left behind. I am taking a really hefty dose of the stuff- 50 mgs more than the highest FDA approved dose- so when I miss a dose I get serious withdrawls. By yesterday afternoon I was soooo dizzy. I had my dose this morning and am still very dizzy and waiting for this to stop! I want to write a good post but typing is really hard when you can't really see the keyboard due to head spinningness!
On another unrelated note, I am kind of down lately because I am feeling like a frumpy old mum and not young or hot or even attractive. I think part of the problem is I am comparing myself to people on facebook. I keep running into people on FB that I went to high school with that still look great and its hard not to get down on myself. I know that true beauty is on the inside, but to be honest I dont really like what is on my inside. I think that is why I have always tried to look my best and hope I could get by on that. Lately i have started to notice aging going on and its hard to keep my chin up.
Ok I am babbling and making no sense cant think or focus.
Still really excited about Christmas! When i am feeling better I will post about all my exciting christmas plans. i am really excited about my menu and would like to post about it but dont want to trigger anyone with food talk. but hey this is my blog anyways so I just might ;)
love you all

How many of them have 3 kids? Those will last a longer than anything else. And you look fine.
Sorry your dizzy. It stinks when you forget your meds. I've done that a few times. Fortunatly I had a perscription so I was able to go to walgreens and get 5 day's worth. It was nuts but it worked. I paid through the eyeballs for it though.
hope that dizziness ends soon. i hate it!!!!! meds are so annoying. why do they all have to have some rotten side effects?
from your pictures, you look delightful too, just like your old friends.
i know how it feels to feel frumpy. i'm 45, and i was looking at some really good pictures that were taken of me when i was 37. i be-moaned and be-moaned that i'll never look like that again, and i'll never be that young again. ahhh. then i took a nap. but as a mom, i'm sure you have little time for naps.
take good care. and feel well
I hope you're feeling better, Lisa!
other people on facebook look at you and think YOU are the hip and hot one. seriously. they do. And very few of your still-hip-hot-cute-attractive HS friends actually thinks that about themselves. So, just because YOU don't think you're fine looking doesn't mean you aren't. See what I'm saying?
xoxo!
I hope you feel better soon! Dizziness is so horrible.
i always forget to take my meds, maybe thats why im so unstable right now. ugh.
i hope you feel better soon, christmas should cheer you right up!
i'd try to make you feel better about your appearance.. but honestly, i dont know what to say. if i did, i'd say it to myself i guess.
at least we're not alone in this!
chin up,

Woman! Who from our high school are you seeing on the fb that looks that great. Because I looked and no one looks especially hot.
Some ugly ducklings turned out better looking than they were, but no one has a modeling contract.
I look at you and I don't see any wrinkles. I see a cute hair cut and fashionable clothes and make-up. I see beautiful little girls and a wonderful, supportive husband. Trust me, many of our classmates envy you.
