Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 

1. In an effort to combat obesity, the mayor of NYC has plans to ban the sale of large sugary drinks (anything over 16 oz.), initially in restaurants, movie theatres, and street carts. Corner stores would also be affected if they are defined as food service establishments. You can read more here . Your thoughts?I don't think that it's up to the government to tell us what to eat or drink. It's true that people make bad choices when it comes to food (especially fast food) but it's our right to make those choices.

2. Art festival, music festival, food festival...which would you most like to attend?Music festival.

3. What are you irrational about?Probably lots of things but I really can't think of any right now.

4. Do you feel confident you'll have a comfortable retirement?I feel confident that I'll probably never be able to retire. Really, the state of Illinois is probably one of the worst there is as far as retirement goes - and I work for the state!

5. What's been your favorite Olympic moment so far?

(Not ever, just in the 2012 Summer games)  I can honestly say that I haven't watched ANY event so far.

6. What would you label as the messiest room in your house?Usually the computer room - things tend to get piled in there.

7. Do you follow your heart or your head? A little bit of both.

8. Insert your own random thought here.I've been doing a lot of canning lately. Last night it was tomatoes and I had one jar that didn't seal. I haven't had that happen in a very long time! Guess I'll be making chicken cacciatore tonight.
