What is an OmaHeck...

It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:

When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)

When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

Twilight!

OK, this movie is HUGE! I haven't seen this many chicks all lathered up since Danny, Donnie, Joey, John and Jordan were "Hanging Tough" by showing that they had "The Right Stuff", even if they had to take it "Step-by-Step!"

As you may have heard, the movie is raking in all kinds of dough, and not just in this hotbed of Mormondom. DISCLAIMER: I haven't seen the movie or read the book. Cyndie would rather take me to see "Quantum of Solace" than "Twilight". I WIN!

Cyndie has read the first 3 books (Breaking Wind, er, Breaking Dawn is in the stack of stuff by her bed).

Twenty years ago she was in love with the vampires from Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, "The Lost Boys", and Ursula Le Guin. Everyone thought she was a freak. In fact, there was an English teacher who commented more than once on her "affinity for dark things".

She swears that if she'd had such valiant vampires to lust after in her teens, she'd have saved us all some grief, but she's "pretty much past that now". She does confess, however to being more interested in the Volturi than the other covens.

I know we'll see the Cullens on Netflix, but in the mean time, my theater dollars will go to the likes of "Ironman", James Bond, Star Trek, and Adam Sandler's "Bedtime Stories".

You guys are so funny. Hey, I love it, but that's probably no surprise. shhhh.... Niel has even read all the books...and we saw the movie together.

I love the cute Christmas photo, and loved your email. My friend from high school and her sister were in Scary Poppins. I loved it.

Your boys are adorable. We need to get together. Cyndie...I miss book club! You need to get on Good reads so I can be informed of what books you're enjoying, besides Twilight, of course.

Thank you so much for the package and the newsletter. We had fun reading the kidisms and catching up on your year. The boys are getting so big.
