i absolutely adore midnight meals...
and midnight meals that consist of thanksgiving leftovers are just the bees knees. Last night before rob got home i got up around 12:30, made a turkey sandwhich and reheated some sweet potatoes and hogged out on the couch while watching old reruns of Growing Pains (Mike threw over the fam. for a date with a hot euro-chick, but quickly came running back to Team Seaver when he realized a transient relationship was no match for the bonds of bowling in bright orange shirts with Jason, Maggie, Carol and Ben)
Does anyone else out there reheat full meals in the middle of the night or is it just us???

...watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and the greater part of "Singin' in the Rain" while the kids napped thisafternoon...windows open in the front room and the kitchen, lights dimmed appropriately for audrey hepburn and gene kelley viewings... i just can't get miss holly golightly's acoustic version of 'Moon River' out of my head. hummed it while folding laundry and raking leaves (into a pile in our courtyard...from our one little tree) with the kids. hummed it while washing isabelle's hair and behind sebastian's ears. hummed it while putting the munchkins to bed and cleaning up the kitchen. hummed it most of the way up to the third floor to check my email [empty - by the way - you all suck]
moon river...wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
moon river and me.
goodnight...neverland...

Did you know...
the universe is actually BEIGE??? No jokes, folks...Actually "Cosmic Latte" is the color-phrase the lab coats coined, according to an article I read on oddpeaks.com
Apparantly a good number of years back, a team of astronomers from Johns Hopkins University. (including Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry) determined that the color of the universe was a greenish white, but they soon corrected their analysis in "The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: constraints on cosmic star-formation history from the cosmic spectrum", published in 2002. (sounds like a light read, doesn't it?) In this paper, they reported that their survey of the color of all light in the universe added up to a slightly beige white. The survey included more than 200,000 galaxies, and measured the spectral range of the light from a large volume of the universe. The hexadecimal RGB value for Cosmic Latte is #FFF8E7. (no i didn't double check this - pulled the code reference straight from oddpeak.com!)
In a Washington Post article, the color was displayed. (I wonder how they were able to adjust the register to get the color right on newsprint?) Glazebrook jokingly said that he was looking for suggestions for a name for the new color. Several people who read the article sent in suggestions. "Cosmic Latte" was selected...Kind of gives a whole new meaning to the term "Milky Way" doesn't it?
