Still Full


Here's what my Thanksgiving consisted of...

- full plates of food

- post food naps

- hours of putting up Christmas lights

- Nila

- beer

- survived the Olgesby Turkey Trot with Team Dougie

- family

- endless hours of Christmas music

- watching football after football game

- making a snowman out of paper products, I think we won the competition


- multiple rounds of Telestrations, now my new favorite game


- and more Nila


Oh and it was time to switch my desktop background to the holiday one.

Turkey Trot



Well it's gettin' to be that time of year again, the 2010 Turkey Trot is a week away. This year my sister, brother in law, and brother will be participating with me. This means that Team Dougie will be reunited once again! The last time I ran was in the Chicago Half Marathon on September 12th. I hope to go for a jog or 2 before Thanksgiving, but for some reason I already feel prepared to run. Maybe it is all the p90x I have been doing. I recently started doing a couple of the p90x ab sculpting sessions and I saw instant results after the first workout! Look out Turkey Trot 2010!

This song is getting me pumped.

Meyer Weekend

While I sit here on this fine November Sunday evening, I enjoy a nice cold PBR, while Christmas music plays softly on the Flats new record player. Life is good.

This weekend was the first annual Meyer Weekend. My Dad, brother, grandpa, 2 uncles and 4 cousins, for a total of 10 Meyers, came to Madison for a badger football game. Although the weather wasn't great, getting to experience a badger game with family was. The cold and rainy weather didn't stop us from having an awesome time. We witnessed history, the badgers scored 83 points, the most by any big ten team since 1950. Our seats were in the corner of the end-zone on the badger side line, where most of the action occurred. Also, my buddy Nate Tice scored his first career NCAA touchdown on a 17 yard bootleg. I don't think anyone knew he could juke like that. This capped off a perfect gameday.


The Bears won and we turned our heat on today. To say the least, it was a good weekend.

55 Days of Christmas

I recently came up with a great, possibly nation sweeping, new idea. Instead of the advertised "25 days of Christmas," why not celebrate Christmas for one more month by listening to Christmas music each day?! I am going to listen to Christmas music for the entire month of November and through Christmas day. I usually get my Christmas music fix in the morning while I enjoy chugging a couple cups of coffee before heading to class.

If you would like to participate in this wonderful event, but don't have a couple gigabytes of Christmas music in your iTunes, pandora has an awesome station you can listen to. Just search 'Swingin' Christmas' and prepare to get in the Holiday mood!
