I am a sliveraholic.  Whether it is brownies, bread, donuts, cookies or cake I devour at least 4 serving sizes just from the slivers that I cut off.

For some reason I think that by cutting and munching on 4 hundred small pieces of the above mentioned baked goods it does not equal 1 normal sized piece and therefore it is good for me and I am not taking in absurd amounts of sugar:)  Yes, I know that was a very well constructed sentence.   I never make grammar errors on the blog.

I was caught red-handed….or I guess orange-handed due to not washing off all of the self tanner on my palms.

Dinner tonight was with our besties Allison and Alex (my running coach and running idol).

IMG_4690.JPG

We brought over chicken tacos, black beans and mexican rice.  I have lately been obsessed with sour cream……..it makes the taco.  We did forget the guacamole.  I learned my lesson and will never do that again, you have my word.

IMG_4693.JPG

And since I only had 12 slivers (1/4 of the pan) of brownie I had to finish the night off with a whole one and some vanilla bean ice cream.

Back to work today……ps did you know that hulu has a time limit on how much you can watch at one time.  I am that cool person that over spring break received the message, “you’ve sure been watching for a long time, would you like a break?”  I guess I can’t spend everyday running ridiculous distances, watching hours of chopped on hulu and going on a date with my mom. Back to real life.

Speed work Monday……800 meter yasso’s after school.  Bring it on track workout.

—————————————————————-

Don’t forget to e-mail me @ [email protected] a race photo or awesome post run/workout photo for me to LINK you on a post to help motivate each other to get out there and run our little hearts out!!!  And for bragging rights:)

————————————————————–

Are you a sliveraholic?  Do you keep cutting off little pieces until next thing you know it and the pan is empty?

-Guilty as charged.

Less than 12 hours until we know who Brad chooses on the Bachelorette!! Are you team Emily or team Chantel?

-Team Emily.

Do you watch Hulu?

-Religiously.  Remember we are on a teacher’s salary and Billy is in school……..cable is not an option.

I am def a sliveraholic…I once ate 3/4 a pumpkin loaf by myself because of this.
I am also on team Emily!
I watch hulu sometimes, but my internet is slow so it freezes up a lot!!

Can't wait to hear about your track workout! Have a great day!

Yes I am a sliverholic.

I watch Hulu all the time because we don't have cable. :)

…and obviously, cable is not an option for us either. we love hulu and netflix.

oooh i definitely am a sliveraholic! its better that way!!!!

Oh yes, slivers don't count do they? Until you have no more knives in the knife drawer…

Don't do the Bachelor, sorry

Yes to hulu- I watch glee on it :)

Reply

I am a sliverer too :), until it is time to eat a real serving of course. I am team Emily too, love that girl! Hope you have a great speed workout!

Reply

I don't do slivers, I just go for it. :)

We are seriously considering cancelling our cable because it's so crazy expensive. We think we could live with hulu and netflix…we'll see after this month's bill.

Your dinner makes me want to make mexican for dinner tonight!

Reply

I think slivers taste better!

Reply

I'm absolutely a sliver-a-holic! :) I will sliver the whole pan away on some baked goods! :) Have fun on the track today!!

Reply

I like them both. However, I am thinking Brad will pick team Chantel over the already made family…but then of course there's the Hendricks money…

Reply

I am definitely 'Team Emily' but I think he picks Chantal and then Emily will be the next Bachelorette!!

Can't WAIT to watch it!

No hulu for me. I DVR everything, though!

Reply

I almost forgot the Bachelor finale is tonight – wahoo!! Good luck with your track work today! I know you'll be super speedy. Billy and I watch hulu all the time – he has some way to hook his laptop up to our TV and we watch old episodes of all of our favorite shows! Happy Monday, my love!

Reply

Emily all the WAY!!!

Yes, I am a sliveraholic… Anything chocolate has my name on it.

I DVR all my favorite shows. I have no idea when they're actually on TV!

Reply

Since your not eating it all at the same time, it doesn't count, right?!

And I too have gotten the message from hulu, while I was looking for a job. It didn't help my self-esteem…haha!

Reply

Hi. My name is BHF, and I am a sliverholic.

I have slivers before and after breakfast (since, as you rightly wrote, breakfast isn't a dessert meal). And basically, whenever the kids aren't going to catch me I sneak another.

Reply

I am also a sliverholic! I can't keep sweets in our apartment because I will eat them all!

Reply

Sorry your break is over!! Hopefully you had a good week off!!

Reply

You are crazy. I love slivers and that is exactly what we ate last night except we had guac and used plain high protein yogurt instead of sour cream. It tastes exactly the same but is loaded w protein. My beans were homemade, refried. . We eat lots of beans in AR. Love to you!!!

Reply

No, I just go for the whole cookie/donut, but I will cut cookie/donut #2 I half. Is that a sliver? :)

Emily!

I don't have a TV so I watch The Bachelor on Hulu. Ughhhh I won't see the finale until it's posted tomorrow!!

Reply

Team Emily all the way!

I am also guilty as charged, slivers all the way baby!

Reply

I am so bad at cutting off slivers! So bad that since I've given up sweets for Lent I will not let myself make brownies for anyone else. I don't think I have enough willpower to keep it away from my mouth. :D

Reply

yep, love Hulu. We are on a teachers salary too- no cable. :) I am SO excited for teh Bachelorette finale tonight but can’t watch it because of the no cable issue!!! Ah, I have to wait until tomorrow and catch it on Hulu, which means I have to stay off Facebook and twitter tonight so I don’t see any spoilers. I might die.

Reply

Haha! I'm a sliverholic and I didn't even know it. If you cut smaller pieces, it's smaller calories right? I'm sticking to that and I don't care if I'm wrong.

I'm not a Bachelor fan :(. Maybe it's because my friend's hubby works on the show and tells us how CRAY CRAY these people are. haha

Reply

Just a sliver… If I had a penny for every time I said that (and then proceeded to eat half the cake)…I would be RICH.

We also do not have cable (or a TV for that matter) so Hulu it is! I am obsessed. Have you watched Parks & Recreation? Hilarious.

Reply

I don't have tv either, therefore hulu is a lifesaver! My mom's favorite phrase is "a french woman's taste" because supposedly they have small portions. that is thrown out the window when we have 5 french woman's tastes!

Reply

slivers don't count. (typed with my right hand as i consume my 12th brownie sliver of the day with my left)

Team Emily. All the way. Is anyone not on Team Emily?

Hulu is a healthy addiction. Fact. (As is frozen yogurt and Mexican food)

I'm catching up on posts and I'm obsessed with Tangeled, too! I'm so happy you went to see it again. Totally love it and can't wait for it to come out on dvd!!

Reply

Sliverholic. HAHAH. I didn't know I had a condition. But I am guilty as charged.

Please Emily for the sake of her heart not getting crushed, but I am feeling like he is going to pick Chantel, because they NEVER pick the right one!

We haven't watched Hulu for awhile but we did watch all six seasons of Lost on it! I love it!

Reply

I'm totally a sliver-stealer. And edges, of anything, too. I have a theory, that slivers, edges, and anything you grab and eat while walking by have zero calories!

I don't watch the Bachelor.. I watched the season with Andrew Firestone but that was it :(

I. LOVE. HULU!! I'm totally addicted to Netflix streaming and NatGeo documentaries, though.. no cable here either!

Reply

mmmm I have been eating mexican food for like the past 14 days straight….Me and my crazy weird food kicks. I totally eat slivers all day and then still have an extra large peice with everyone else.

I am obsessed with cable and to illiterate to understand hulu. Plus I'm not sure Hulu would feed my obsessive basketball obsession.

Have a fabulous day!!

Oh man. I'm Team Emily. I can.not.wait until 8pm. Geesh!

I love your thinking–how our little nuances can be posts–so fun! Slivers add up?! Dang it!

Nicole is not only the best name but a great middle name too!!!!!

No Hulu, but love Netflix.

I'm horrible with the slivers- rice krispy treats are my weakness. Not only do I attempt justification with the sliver size, but the "rice krispies aren't bad for you" rationale that completely neglects the presence of butter and marshamallows.

Reply

I am definitely a sliverholic! I start off with one piece, and then go back for 'one more bite'- which turns into the whole thing over the day :)

You're too funny. I too am guilty of the sliver addication to desserts. In my family a sliver is known as the "Brittany piece" because I never fail to eat 8 million transparent pieces of cake in place of one large piece.

Reply

AHAHAHHA im so the opposite of a sliveraholic. i take HUGE portions all at once.. i like to know i got a lot left on my plate :D they dnt have hulu avaiable in the UK… it only works in america.. BOO!

Reply

Yeah, the only reason I have cable is because it came with the apartment :)

Reply

I love slivers because they totally don't count! I'll also do the same thing with cookies and break off pieces.
I love hulu, but I had no idea they cut you off! I used to go over my pandora account all the time, but now, I've discovered Grooveshark for music.

SLIVERS HAVE NO CALORIES! :)

I know this because I'm the sliver queen. Or maybe you're the queen, and I'll be the princess. ;)

I love hulu! and I'm for sure Team Emily. I mean, seriously, who can be Team Shantal?

sometimes hulu….and sometimes a sliver person :) depends on the baked good!!

Reply

Slivers are calorie free!!! Duh! Lol. I am the worst with sneaking little tastes of sweets. :)

We're lucky enough to have cable included in our rent. (And internet too!) So we don't watch hulu. I do sometimes catch up on Glee and vampire diaries online though.

Good luck with the yassos… my legs are pretty sore, i forgot my foam roller at home, and really wished i had it yesterday after my 15 miler. :/

Yasso 800's! Do you like them? Are they helping? Would you recommend them? I met Yasso this weekend (HE CAME TO RUN WITH OUR RUNNING CLUB) and I think I am in love – he is such an inspiration!! OH MY GOSH!!!!! You should have been there, Janae!!!!! I just finished his book and was reading about the 800's and want to give them a try. Read his book if you haven't!

Sliveraholic and a SPOONFULAHOLIC.

Because we all know if it's just a spoonful, it doesn't count. Especially if you eat it standing up at the counter, with the fridge/freezer door still open.

It was so fun to see you yesterday! Afterwards I felt creepy, because I literally ended the conversation with the parting words "see you on your blog!"

Reply

Hah YES! I always take a half a cookie or little pieces of things, but then always go back for the rest eventually :)

Reply

This made me smile so much. My grandma (who has passed away) always ate silvers around the edges of her cakes and brownies, and would bring the pan to family gatherings with a few little pieces missing around the edge. I hadn't thought about that in a long time – thank you for sharing and bringing back such a happy memory.

Team Emily!!! Can't wait! I bought new running shoes today and I'm so motivated to run now!

My name is Laura, and I am a sliveraholic. I think it is a valid disease :-D

Yes I am totally a sliveraholic! Same reason why I love mini cookies, brownies, and munchkins – you can eat lots and they don't really count ;)

I've never watched anything on hulu bc my computer at home is still from my freshman year at college…aka super old and slow. We recently got full cable with everything so I'm an On Demand stalker of all my favorite shows!

I've never watched Hulu, but I'm gonna try it, and I'll probably be hooked.
I can't wait to hear how your speedwork goes. I love reading about your running, so motivating!!

Reply

I totally do slivers or spoonfuls, or whatever "bite-sized" portions there are possible. Sometimes all I need is that little fix. Although most of the time a big honkin' piece is really what I'm going for.

Do you have a recipe for those tacos?? They look absolutely scrumptious!

All about "edging" it even or smoothing it over ;-) Heaven forbid the item in question be at all uneven! Just even all out into nothingness… LOL

I wish I was a sliver girl. I'm more of a whole piece girl. But it never stops at one, which is the problem!
It was so great meeting with you on Saturday! You are a doll and I love ya!
I need to make these chicken tacos. They just look too good! And I can't believe you forgot the quac! That's just not like you!

Reply

Oh slivers, how I love you! I maintain the calories from slivers and samples don't count.

Sour cream is pretty much the best condiment on the planet. I love it, especially on egg based stuff.

We use Hulu Plus and Netflix instead of cable, so I spend a lot of time on hulu.

Reply

I am a huge sliverholic and I also refuse to bake unless I get to lick the entire bowl. Like sometimes I'll sit at the table with the bowl, a spoon, and a glass of milk. I don't watch the bachelor, I used to be super into Hulu but now I stick with TV – we are on two teacher salaries so we are living large!

Ah the sliver thing kills me!!! I'll do it with pizza and convince myself it really all equals one piece…..but somehow half the entire pizza is gone. Baffles me every time!

Bahahaha I love the totally maniacal look on your face with that pan of brownies. I'm a notorious sliver-er! On Christmas night, following a MASSIVE day of feasting, I managed to eat an entire family-sized Christmas cake all on my own… purely by the little tiny pieces I kept 'tasting'.

Same goes for tubs of ice cream, bars of chocolate, bags of candy, chips and boxes of cereal. They all disappear in a flash and I have no idea where they went because 'I JUST TRIED A LITTLE, I SWEAR!' hahaha

You are a woman after my own heart, Janae :p we totally need to get some kind of international candy swap happening!!

Reply

I'm a sliveraholic too! I just never had a name for it before :) I'm the worst when baked goods are placed on the community table outside my office… I always get caught sneaking "one more bite" lol.

Man! I'm sure glad our TV doesn't send me messages telling me how much I watch! Nobody needs that reminder!

That being said, most of the women on Rock of Love do not seem to be music fans but strippers and desperate girls with tattoos. And they have to dance with a stripper pole and talk dirty to Bret and contests of that ilk to win, so I doubt that any of them were taking out subscriptions to Revolver or Metal Maniacs and downloading old Ratt tunes and beefing up on their knowledge of early bands on Earache Records and Ron St. Germaines catalogue of work to win. They were getting spray tanned and practicing sliding down a greased pole.

Some tips i have observed in terms of personal computer memory is that there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and many others, that must go with the technical specs of the mother board. If the computer’s motherboard is reasonably current and there are no computer OS issues, upgrading the ram literally takes under an hour or so. It’s one of several easiest computer upgrade techniques one can visualize. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
