It's Not You, It's Your Apartment....

Wow. How many times have you dated someone and they were breaking up with you with a line that went something like:

"It's not you.... it's me."

Or you've used that line yourself on someone. And you're like, ok sure - whatever. In today's NYT, we have a new take on it in only a way that New Yorkers can do it:

"It's not you.... it's your apartment."

So this is what starts us off on another entry of YCMTSU.

Straight from Keith Olbermann over at MSNBC (courtesy of Sunny D back in Bay Shore), now you too can have your dog "Bark Mitzvahed", as opposed to Bar or Bat Mitzvahed. I wonder if you should use people years or dog years to determine the appropriate timing for this time-honored tradition of the Jewish religion. Lisa - when is Lucy's big day?

Speaking of Lucy - my niece, who happens to be a bulldog, my sister and brother-in-law sent me this hilarious video of Adam Sandler hosting Letterman and bringing his bulldog, Matzoball, on as a guest. I guess it was timely since Passover starts on Monday (I think).

And then speaking of Bat Mitzvahs, a very close and very fun family friend, Sylvia (the lady in blue dancing with my cousin Claire), is getting Bat Mitzvahed this weekend in New York. It was not really until recently that girls were given the opportunity to participate in this tradition, so now many synagogues have Adult Bar and Bar Mitzvah classes which is really cool. My Mom did this awhile ago, and we were all pretty proud of her commitment to this. Good for you, Sylvia!

Anyone want to try yoga for your face? I'm serious.

Hey - even the WSJ's Law Blog has a version of YCMSTU - Richard Scrushy (of HealthSouth fraud fame) violated his probation by going to Disney World.

Less of Joe Buck is always a good thing for mankind. What an jacka**!! (I know this is supposed to be a family friendly blog - sorry) Thank goodness that FOX does not do the NCAA tournaments.

I definitely have to try the chocolate and olive oil mousse recipe mentioned in this article here. And now that Marc has ventured into eating his own kind (see 3rd paragraph), I may need to try cooking these as well at home.

Finally - if you're reading this, Marc and I need you to do us a favor and think positive thoughts for our close friend, Rebecca. She is in the midst of a crisis that is as pretty tough as it gets, so please think positive things for her and her family.
