I really love reading her posts, articles etc..........she has so much wisdom. Just reading her post on returning from Alaska to making dinner using some lemonade she had previously frozen. a 1/2 cup!! I would have thrown it out!! Those little things really do add up.

Do you men Donna Freedman? I liked her posts. What happened to her? Didn't she become an MSN editor or something like that?

www.donnafreedman.com/It's called "Surviving and Thriving". My hope is she'll become a regular as well (she's already started a "challange"). I saw an article about her that included a video, followed a link to one of her articles and then a link that lead me to SmartSpending just over a year ago. I've been "here" ever since. I've also talked to her on the phone and she is very funny. Hoping I'll get to meet her and a few other posters this summer--I NEED to get to Seattle this summer!

Hi folks: I was in Alaska for a month, came home for three days to finish my Living With Less column and then took a plane to Los Angeles to house- and dog-sit for Liz Weston. (We are old running buddies since 1986, when we had adjoining desks at the Anchorage Daily News.) The night before I was supposed to hop over to Phoenix ($118 round trip!) to visit my daughter, I fell down the stairs leading to the sidewalk in front of her house. Read more about that here: www.donnafreedman.com/2011/01/05/injured-in-action-some-of-us-just-never-learn/and also here: www.donnafreedman.com/2011/01/06/limping-toward-phoenix/Now writing from the spare room at my daughter's house. Thanks for reminding me to come over and visit the not-boards. Things have been hectic but I need to see what everyone's up to -- I miss the contact. :-(

Thritto. (And for those of you who haven't noticed .... Donna is now our Official Smart Spending HOST (and Moderator!) Just like old times, right?

Thanks for all the good wishes. Enforced stillness kind of stinks, but the doc said the more I stay off the foot the faster it will heal. The swelling is going down, which makes me think "Oh, it's all better" -- but I have my daughter here to make me sit still, elevate the foot and ice it. It's weird, to someone who's used to being constantly busy and always having to do for herself. But yesterday was strangely restful: She and I watched the entire first season of "Eureka" (I want to live there, incidentally) and did very little else. While I wish I were a little further along in my deadlines, I also realize that if this recovery period stretches out a long way then (a) it will be problematic for me to get groceries, do laundry, etc. and (b) it will ruin my Feb. 22-March 17 trip to the United Kingdom, where I expect to be on foot a lot. Besides, I'm a mom. We don't ask for help. We give help. Right???

One of the best things about those vacations is that you can eat like a pig and not gain weight. I swear DS and I ate all kinds of good, fattening foods (especially at breakfast, you cannot believe the breakfast!) but we walked so much that I didn't gain any weight at all on the trip. I also slept very well at night, even though I wasn't in my own bed, because I was sooooo tired. Awesome experience, Donna, I bet you will have a blast! (plus, you're used to Seattle, so if it rains, no biggie--when we went we left around March 15 I think, and we only got rained on once, even in Ireland).
