The New Coldplay album

Hey Bloggy,

I am, as i type, listening to the new Coldplay album for the first time. What an exciting day. They're coming to Denver in November, so we'll be hitting that up. That should be fun.

Recently I've been sort of angry. When I'll look at David's profile on the facebook, all I can think to post is "you motherfucking fucker fuck." Of course I'm not really mad at David so it would be highly inappropriate to post that on his wall. I'm just telling you what goes through my head. I suppose what I really want to happen is for ALL to join facebook and then I would friend it (temporarily only) so I could write "you motherfucking fucker fuck you had no right you shitty-faced asshole." That's the extended version. Then, I would promptly unfriend ALL and it would be left friendless in the world with a single wall post. So anyway, that is all.

I'm chatting with The CW on gmail right now. And I believe that last time I posted I was chatting with him too. I spend too much time on gmail.

I wish I could interpret Coldplay lyrics so they made any sense. I feel like the lyrics on this album are even more non-sensical than other songs. But we'll see...cause it often takes some time to get into certain songs.

Our cat is crazy. We have frogheads now, a.k.a. tadpoles. They are our lovers.

I had a birthday last week. We celebrated and did whatever I wanted on the Saturday night and Sunday before the big day. We painted stuff at CrackPots. I wish we did that every weekend. So basically I'm 24 now. Dylan got me The Office Season 3. I have already completed the DVDs. So fantastic!

Tomorrow Tom and his gf Courtney are coming to visit us. Well, technically they are coming to watch a Rockies game and they agreed to see us, too. It should be lots of fun. Coors Field woooooooooooooooooo Also Katie Walter will arrive in Breckenridge on Wednesday and Dylan and I think we'll be able to meet up with her on Sunday somewhere at some time. Yay!

Well I've come to the last song on the coldplay album, so I'll end this post here. And no it didn't take me the whole album to make this post. I started halfway through. I hope to come home to Indy next summer, so get hyped. Between now and then you'll just have to miss me terribly or come visit (as my dad is and as abby and lisa are and as Ben is trying to do).

Love,
Kyline M Ham

ps don't tell anyone but Dylan may be getting a large promotion at Best Buy. No, seriously don't tell because if he knew I was telling you, Bloggert, of all people he'd be pretty mad!

Kitties and Houses

Sup Bloggert,

You are now conversing with the semi-new Mrs. Ham. The subject of this blog post really sums up what my life is right now. I love my new cat and I love dreaming of living in a house with Dylan and Jack and Lily and Luggage. We're locked into a 6 month lease for now, so looks like the earliest we'll move into a house will be November. But anyway, it seems like a good time to buy if you're willing to be in a house for awhile. And we plan to be here for oh say 5 more years, so that's good right? I don't know....

Do you want to hear about my wedding and my honeymoon? My wedding was the best day of my whole life. The week leading up to my wedding was the most amazing week of my life for so many reasons. I am just a very lucky person. It was fantastic seeing my uncle for the first time since his accident. We'll always be grateful that he was well enough to do the ceremony--though we probably got pretty close to killing him. My bad! The wedding itself went by really fast. I still feel a ton of guilt for not talking to everyone who was there. Some people travelled really far to be there and they have no idea how much I appreciated it! I can't imagine if our wedding had been any bigger because that would have just been more guilt! I was so busy eating way too much food and dancing until I nearly died, that I guess I didn't get around to thanking everyone. I think everyone I know should get married at the Indiana State Museum. They were simply the bomb. I would give them my highest recommendation. I planned that entire wedding over e-mails. Granted, it wasn't the fanciest wedding ever, but when you're dealing with Crystal Catering you know they're gonna be on point. I am hopeful that my guests appreciated the Colts theme and didn't think it was too tacky. lol It was the only kind of wedding I could support. Anyway, it was just a really happy day. I wish I could walk down the aisle every day. That was my favorite part. Seeing everyone look so beautiful as I walked down the aisle brought a huge smile to my face! I'm so lucky to have beautiful friends and family.

Now on to the honeymoon. Well, it was the best vacation of my life. Of course since it was my honeymoon, anywhere would have been awesome. We were in Bonaire and we went scuba diving every day except the last day bc you're "not supposed to dive before flying" technically, although I guess you actually can now but who wants to risk their life? Anyhoo, we saw turtles and boxfish and squid and eels and fish that always swam in pairs bc they were lovers. It was the most amazing time. We had some pretty good food. And some pretty nasty food (iguana soup anyone?). We considered living there. It would just be so amazing. Hopefully we'll be able to go back someday. It's so worth the money. Our condo was the bomb. Just lovely and romantico.

So much to say about the wedding and honeymoon but this is probably getting boring. Things in Colorado have been good. I'm still working part-time and NCAR's budget took a "hit" this year so I'm not expecting that to change anytime soon. Somehow we're able to have pretty fantastic lives even on the tiny amount of money that we do make.

Every once in awhile I have dreams with my nanny in them. They're always just sort of us hanging out with the family and I seek her approval on something. So I think while that may seem creepy to some, is actually a nice thing for me. In my most recent dream with her I had written her a letter all about how much she meant to me and how grateful I was to have her and I got to give her the letter in the dream. Not the same as being able to express your feelings in real life, but I'm trying to learn that for f's sake you gotta say your piece before it's too late. So, blog, you should know that I love you and people reading this should know that I love them and that I'm incredibly grateful for them. Don't regret for the rest of your life not telling someone you love them and that you appreciate them. I'm wondering if this last dream will be the last one I have of her...

In other news, we did a couple special things for David at the wedding because we really wanted him to be there. The special things were "nice" but we still missed him.

I am happy, bloggy.

St. Paddy's Day

Hi Bloggy,

We've been having a lot of fun lately...almost too much fun. This will probably be my last post as a single woman. We leave this Saturday to go get married. It's a shame you won't be at the wedding, Bloggert. I'll be thinking of you.

You might be sad to know that our friend Charlie McDonald-Zwoyer died. Cancer is a real biotch.

Besides the wedding and too many people dying, Dylan and I have been filling our days off by going to breweries. We go every Thursday with our friend Luggage. This past Saturday we celebrated St. Patrick's Day in Fort Collins. I was the designated driver, so I just watched Dylan, Luggage, and our friend Jesse get really drunk. We had a great time though. Now if only we can get Jesse to come to our wedding....

We are so excited to get married we can barely stand it. Less exciting is changing my name to Ham. But I'm going to do it anyway because then we'll be a little family. Me, Dylan, and Jack Bauer Ham. I am totally fine with everyone calling us Hamford though :-)

Reminder to everyone I love: wear your seatbelt and hopefully your car has airbags. I'm lucky that my uncle isn't dead. If he would have died that might have thrown me over the edge!! So if you're coming to the wedding, let Les know that you're happy he's there!! It's been my dream a long time to have him officiate my wedding.

Wish me luck this Wednesday when me, Dylan, Luggage, Jesse, Jesse's mom, and probably some others head up to Fort Collin's for trivia at Woody's. I've been really hyping the event--so I better win. eeeeee Then of course on Thursday we're headed to another brewery!! Friday my co-workers are taking me and Dylan out to lunch to celebrate our wedding! :-)

I Love you Bloggy, but I'm sorry I'm marrying Dylan.

No More

Dear Bloggy,

So, let's face it, I'm a little depressed. You see I had to go home this past weekend to go to the funeral for my nanny. And yeah, it's hard to explain who my nanny was and how she raised me. I guess I was just one of those lucky people that gets to have an extra-special person in their life to raise them. A million percent lucky.

Let me tell you about Kyle and sad things. I don't do well. I can't speak, I can only cry. And it keeps me from saying the things I wish I could say. But words are just words and totally meaningless at a time like this anyway. So I'm just glad I could physically be there. Her family could at least see that I was there...even if I said nothing.

I'm going to have to stop typing now. It's just a little too much for me even to type. So anyway, I'll post some other time.

My Old Friend

My old friend, I recall
The times we had are hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
Cause they laugh and they cry me and
somehow sanctify me
They're woven in the stories I have told
And tell again

My old friend, I apologize
For the years that have passed since the last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
But the runnin' and the races and the people and the places
there was always somewhere else I had to be
And time gets thin, my old friend

Don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why

My old friend this song's for you
'Cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
To tell the world that you were here
'Cause the love and the laughter will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears
We'll meet again my old friend

Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye

My old friend, My Old Friend
Goodbye, Goodbye



Tim McGraw knows just how to say it.
Except replace all the times when it says "old friend" with Lady. I've been more sad than usual the last couple days, but I'm trying to remember all the hilarious times. He was my lady and I just miss him.

2008 is hot

Hey Bloggy,

Election year is really heating up. How do you feel about the candidates? I know you're probably a conservative bastard bc you never write back to me (I've sent you lots of letters over the years). It doesn't actually matter which republican gets nominated. The Dem will win. If a democrat doesn't win this year, I probably will move to Switzerland or something. Cause it will be proof that the world has gone insane.

I didn't get to go to zoo lights at the Denver Zoo this year. I wanted to go so badly! I never went to Christmas at the Zoo in Indy but the commercials for Zoo Lights made it look amazing. Maybe next year....

Key West was a blast as always. The weather was a little weird. One day we broke the record for highest high temperature on that day and then a few days later we broke the record for lowest high temperature. Reeeediculous. I had to buy a sweatshirt while I was down there. I'm glad Dylan got to come down, even if it was only for 3 days. I got some really really amazing Christmas presents--like my best year ever. My parents renewed their vows after 37 years and 4 months of marriage. It was easily the cutest thing I've ever seen. Wish you could have been there, Bloggy. My flights coming back were crazy. The Orlando airport is sooo stupid. Pictures of all this wild and crazy times are of course posted....but on Picasa.

I have gone to work one time since I got back in town (yesterday) and it was alright. I wish I could just hang out and get paid for that :-).

Let's see....what's coming up. Dylan's sister Joy and her boyfriend Curt are coming to visit us next week. Well actually they'll be staying in Dillon, CO to do some skiing, but I'm sure we'll meet up with them and have fun. I've got about a million days off during the time they are here (thank you Dr. Martin Luther King). Dylan and I will probably just renew our lease again for another five months...it will be neat when we finally get to move though. Of course the wedding is coming up...I'm going to try to get some things done in accordance with that today. I booked our honeymoon on Saturday. Holler!

I'm really looking forward to the Colts game this Sunday. I hate bye weeks!! My jerseys get so sad and lonely.

Alright I better go and get some stuff done. I'll talk to you soon maybe, Bloggert.

So this is Christmas

Merry Christmas, Bloggert.

Even though I know you're a heathen and don't believe in anything Christmas stands for, I still wish you a happy day off mr. blog.

So I was looking over these electronic communications, and I see that I have been sharing my life with Bloggert for 3 years now. Granted, I took a year break while I figured out my life in CO, but it's still pretty tite. You know more about me than even my friends do, Bloggy. Unless they read this....then you know me exactly the same amount that they do.

It is Christmas and Dylan and I have to day off. I made Dylan go to bed early last night (11) bc he was Mr. Grumpy Man bc he's been working too much. It is 10 AM now so I guess he's catching up on sleep. It is supposed to snow here today so I want to go out in our boots. I wonder if we will.

I'm thankful every single day for what I've got in my life, and on holidays I'm thankful like tenfold. So it is a good day. Yesterday at work, I was the only person in the office. So I had no one to talk to. I was sad and Mrs. Lonely. It's OK I got some work done, I left early bc I mean no one was there. I did give a noon tour to one cute older couple. I also helped the maintenance man replace the lightbulb int he theater's projector. Yay me! I had thought that my co-worker Tim had already changed the bulb though, so I'm starting to wonder if I've made a terrible mistake.....oh well.

If my name were fancy bottom and I were reading this post bc my girlfriend made me, I'd probably give thanks that I'm kewl enough to have a nickname that is so popular and true to life. It's just a fancy bottom, that's all.

I really don't have much to say besides happy anniversary and Merry Christmas. Don't forget what the true meaning of this holiday is: 1) complain if you don't get the right present 2) visit a store that is open and tell the people working there how much it sucks that they have to work on this day--they love that 3) eating junk food and candy

Love you, bloggy.
