Hello and Happy New Year 2011

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

It has been quite a while since I posted to my blog; that was 2010 -- this is now 2011 and time to set new goals!

I plan to post here on a weekly basis providing you a variety of information from Dateline Irish (my calendar of events in the Pittsburgh, PA area), and other exciting news that may be happening!

The past year I continued to concentrate on not smoking; beginning January 5, 2011, I will begin my 3rd year of being smoke free (I have cheated on occasion, but not too much. Since I gave me permission to cheat, I find less desire to do it). One thing I realize about smoking, it took the edge off life -- traffic, annoyances, etc. So now I'm into cooking and have made some very delicious dishes and baked wonderful breads and scones. Of course with all of this cooking comes weight gain; so I think for 2011 I will concentrate on dropping a few pounds.

Weight loss will be one of my goals for this New Year! To all of you I wish you well; may you have good health, good work, good relationships, and a bit of good luck!

Happy New Year,
Diane Byrnes
