Totally Nutty Triathletes (TNT) (Page 7)

absolutely! 

me too  

When I referred to my daughter I thought it meant "dumba$$-daughter" (but she is 27 so I can say that about her if I want....yes I can)

that does apply sometimes doesn't it?  LOL 

I have been in the US for a little over 3 years. I moved here from Ireland (near Dublin) where I lived for about 4 years or so prior to that.

I am originally from just outside Paisley in Scotland. Went to school and University there.

I moved here for work and love it here. No plans to go back. Can't take the rain and cloudy depressing weather anymore. I love the desert......warm and dry.

How about you Lynne? Where in Scotland? What brought you this side of the pond?

where in New Mexico? I used to live in Quemado (big whopping town of maybe 35 ppl), Cloudcroft (elevation 8000 - gorgeous part of New Mexico), Grants and Gallup...was on a seismograph crew years ago back in the day when oil and gas was being searched for regularly...and I lived in forty of the fifty states! I now reside in Northern California..San Francisco Bay area.

 Hello again. I'm from East Kilbride! HAHAHA. So not far.  I've been here just over 10 years. I was originally an Au Pair then met my DH. Been here ever since.  Weather here is similar to Scotland as in it rains just as much but it makes the summers worth it. 

Did somebody say that Nutella is healthier that peanut butter?

I do not have a label to look at.

THat trip to the store to pick up a jar or 4 is getting well into the planning stage now based on this team's inputs.

How about Nutella on top of vanilla ice cream?????....anyone tried it??????

That is all I can think of now as I am sat in a meeting at work about 20 mins before lunchtime......

Nutella has 11g of fat per  2 tspns

Peanut butter has 16g

Nutella has 21g of sugar

Peanut butter has 3g.  Eek.   Oh lets just mix them together and be done with it!

 YUM!

OK I am gonna have to stop reading for the rest of the day at work.....this is torture reading about all this deliciousness.

Nutella, PB, waffles, crepes and mixing them all up.....arrrggghhhh

This is exactly how I look at the moment at my desk.........

as I knew you would...of course! you are such a giver in that sort of way!

Oh crap.....I just wrote a big long reply and didn't answer any of the questions folks have asked so far in the thread.....so here goes....

I am originally from Scotland too, just like Triathlynne, and I now live in the sunny desert of New Mexico.

Favorite ice cream is probably.....hmmmmm.......any cold one.......and there is a Cold Stone about a 5 min walk from my work and that new peppermint patty one sounds good.

...looks like I might get both fitter and fatter this month on this team with all the food talk....

Just did my first tri last month and am training for an Oly in Sept with several other tri's and runs between now and then

I am married with 4 kids and a 5th on the way (I can't believe it either, but there you go)and come from a background of sitting around eating my wife's wonderful cooking and watching good movies....but all that has changed in the last 6 months.

And the way the post rate is going here I am sure we will all find out more about each other, weather we want to or not,  during this month

 Hey Kenny!  I love coldstone! Oh goodness! And when you tip them! They dance! hahahhaha I love it.   

 So how long have you been in the States and what part of Scotland do you hail from? 

I have a ColdStone within walking distance of my house. Thankfully I'm not a huge fan of spending more on ice cream than I am on gas!

come on....who needs gas...don't you bike everywhere!!?? and cold stone is the absolute KING of ice creams! mmmmmmmmmmm me want ice cream!

you bad bad boy! mine is almost 27 will be this next year...but I think she is the  bestestess! but that is why I quit after having one child!! I was told by my parents that I was going to be doomed if they were anything like me...since she was not...I figured I better stop while I am ahead! and it seemed to work out great for me!

believe it or not...me the angel that I am...was the black sheep of the family...quite the little instigator, I was! imagine that!!!!

oh where's the love...lynne!? hehe

designated daughter....sounds like you have one or two of them two! unless your wife has granted you only ds's...designated sons
