Tooting Your Own Horns….

Hey cats and kittens, it’s time for more hot Blog Reader Appreciation Week action!  This week is all about me appreciating the hell out of you and the rewards range from random prizes to just making you feel as all loved and stuff.  Some of you are lurkers, some readers who pass by once and again, some regular commenters and blog friends for years, and others who have wormed their way into my everyday life and have become my dearest friends.  No matter how long we’ve known each other or how well we know each other, I am here to tell you that ALL of you matter.  Without each and every one of you, this would just be Hilly’s Blog, not the wonder that is Snackie’s World because hi….a “world” needs a diversity of cool people running around and shit. 

 Blog Reader Appreciation Week

Just in case anyone wonders, both previous Blog Reader Appreciation Week posts are still open for questions and comments!  I’m amazed at the response to both the ‘question anddeclaration posts and hope you’re all feeling like you have a place to just let it all hang out!  Speaking of which, today is no exception.  It may be blatantly obvious by now that my Blog Reader Appreciation Week post choices are not just random bits of chance…in fact, I’m often putting new variations on old themes.  These posts are made to make everyone feel welcome and like they can participate each day so I hope it’s coming across the way I intend it to! 

We all know that in order to be loved, we need to love ourselves.  I believe that the same holds true for appreciation…we must able to notice and relish the great qualities that we have in order for others to see the same.  So today is sorta like Self-Love Day but with a twist of limon!  Here’s what you’re going to do….you’re going to tell me three things that you love about yourself.  I know that this sometimes can be a really hard thing to do but please just sit down and find three!  Then, if you want, you can tell me ONE thing that you like about me.  Of course, in comments, I will tell you the one thing that I like most about you.  And please, take more time to figure out what it is that you like about yourself than what it is you like about me….because again, it is ALL ABOUT YOU this week.   So, as one to never ask anything from you that I would not do myself, here are mine:

About Me:

1.)  I am amazingly technologically savvy, generally sans instruction manuals. 
2.) I’m loving, warm and extremely loyal.
3.) I have a great sense of humor and can bring the funny!

About You:

1.) In general, you are an awesome group of people.  I rarely get stink-ass comments here and just realized that I don’t have a blog enemy, so there’s that!  I’ll get more specific with individuals.

By the way, today is a CONTEST WINNING KIND OF DAY!  Each person that is able to find those three things that they absolutely adore about themselves will get their names “put into a hat” then I will “pick out a name” at the end of the week!  (I use quotations because I’ll actually use an online generator ala Avitable but yanno…same concept).  Today’s prize will be a $30.00 Amazon Gift Certificate with a runner-up prize of a little Homedics handheld massager in either hot pink or electric blue! (No pervs, really a massager!).  So bring your milkshake to the yard and start telling me what you like about yourself.

Mercury and Solace Kisses,
Me

    About Me…

    1. I’m an excellent driver and navigator.

    About you…

    You pick a mean fantasy football team, for a girl.

  2. Sodapop Says:

    First let me say, please do not put my name in the “hat” for a prize. For a compulsive gambler like me, it’s not healthy ;)

    1. I am compassionate, loyal and a good friend.

    2. I am very good with directions and can memorize how to get somewhere after the first or second try.

    3. I believe in myself and my abilities to do anything.

    For you:

    You have a great sense of humor, which is what drew me here in the first place.

  3. Kyra Says:

    1. I’m loyal, honest, and will be there in a heartbeat even if we have had a falling out.

    2. I am powerful (this sounds silly, but most of my life I have felt powerless - and it feels really good to feel the opposite.)

    3. I’m a pretty decent cook, but don’t tell anyone.

    For you:

    You’re always moving forward, or trying to - because you know that standing still isn’t going to work.

    1. I can fix/build almost anything IT-related. And I mean _anything_. HW, SW, network, operating systems, applications, databases, servers, desktops, phones, firewalls, printers, call centers, unix, windows, mac, components, drivers, doesn’t matter. If it plugs in, I can work it. Which leads me to
    2. I’m confident in my abilities.
    3. I’m able to be happy in most any situation.

    You?

    1. you make up new terms for the internet and they stick. yanno? get my twat about your snark?

  5. Willie G Says:

    About Me:

    1. I am a fiercely loyal and protective husband and father, and friend. Love me some wife and kids and friends :smile:

    2. I am people-centric; I am all about supporting the rights of all people.

    About You:

    Since I am a newbie to all that is Hilly and Snackie’s World I can really only say what has drawn me most to your site, and that is that you are loved and respected by your circle of blog-world friends. With all the mentions you get on others sites, I was drawn here to see for myself. I like what I see. :wink:

  7. Miss Britt Says:

    Let’s see here…

    What I like about me…

    1. I am generally comfortable in my own skin.

    2. I’m not usually afraid. And if I am, I’m capable of jumping anyway.

    3. I can find the humor in any situation, and usually do.

    What I like about YOU? If can only pick one…

    You have a soft squishy heart underneath all that snark. And you really TRY to be a good person. I love that.

  8. Mattie Says:

    This is really difficult for me because I’m so used to feeling as though my presence on the face of this Earth is and has been inconsequential.

    That said, I spent a long time thinking about this (mostly because I just started my first cuppa and my brain is still sleeping).

    Here goes:

    1) I am a loyal friend. Not just through the good times, but especially through the bad times. I would never turn my back on a friend regardless of the consequences to myself.

    2) I am (sometimes) brutally honest. My friends and family know that if they don’t want to hear the truth, then they don’t ask me the question.

    3) I am a champion of the underdog. I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt and I always approach things with an open mind and never sit in judgment.

    About You:

    You are a generous, giving, honest person that I would be proud and honored to consider a friend IRL.

  9. Cissa Fireheart Says:

    What I like about me:

    1. I am fiercely loyal to my friends and will do anything for them, and probably have already.

    2. I am not afraid to tell people what I really think, even if it’s not the popular opinion.

    3. Even though I’ve had some rough times in my life, I am still able to see the beauty, humor, and love in the world once I am over a funk.

    What I like about you:

    1. you are willing to give people a space to be themselves and encourage those folks to be themselves

    2. you aren’t afraid to admit when you are freaking out, pissed off, or scared about something, to complete strangers and even your friends in the World Wide Interwebs

    3. You have a great capacity for love of everyone, at least that’s how I see you.

    2. I’m honest. I say what I think and DON’T play games.
    3. I’m thoughtful and helpful. I go above and beyond to help friend/family/coworkers, and to make them feel special.

    You…
    You’re amazingly poetic and honest about what you truly feel. You don’t bs it. You let it out. I love that.

  13. Winter Says:

    1. I have a great vocabulary.
    2. I’m deeply loyal.

  14. Kriss Says:

    Me:
    1. I can swear like a truck driver, when the situation calls for it.
    2. I sing my off-key heart out in the car with the windows rolled down, and I don’t really give a shit who hears me.
    3. I will always encourage others to eat dessert.

    You:
    You have every important quality a woman should have in a friend.

  15. Hilly Says:

    Brandon: You’re fucking hilarious without even trying, and that takes skill.

    Sodapop: From what I’ve read so far, you’re open about how you think and feel. I admire that greatly.

    Whall: You’re an articulate debater who can stand his ground without being an asshole about it.

    Willie G: It seems like you really DO have a great sense of friendship and loyalty. I look forward to knowing more :).

    pixie: You’re just someone who seems like she tells it how it is but with kindness.

    Britt: Ack! One? You are that perfect blend of strong and soft. which is good because you have that creamy center and the candy shell.

    Mattie: You are genuinely kind. I don’t say that to a lot of people even though it sounds like a simple phrase.

    Cissa: You’re not afraid to step right in and be counted. You don’t sit in the corner waiting for someone to ask you to dance…you ask them!

    Lady Jaye: Whatever you are feeling, it gets written honestly for the world to see. You KNOW I dig that stuff!

    Avitable: You’re fiercely loyal and protective of the people you love.

    Kim: You are so amazingly real. I know that sounds lame but what I mean is…no pretension.

    Winter: You are totally “ride or die”. I have a feeling that you would fight tooth and nail for a friend or family member.

    Kriss: You don’t give up. Even when things were hard regarding conceiving, you kept fighting and look at you now!

  16. radioactive tori Says:

    About me:
    1. I am an awesome mom
    2. I help people when they need it and don’t expect anything in return
    3. I am extremely loyal and once someone is in my heart, it is very difficult for me to stop caring about them

    About you:
    You are such an amazing friend. I love that you tell the truth even when it may be not what I want to hear. I love so many things about you, but most of all that I know you would always be there for me if I needed you without judging me no matter what crazy thing I would say. Plus you are funny! I also love that you won’t mind that I bent the rules and named a few things I love about you instead of just one…right?

  17. sizzle Says:

    About me:
    1) I speak my truth even when it’s difficult.
    2) I am very nuturing.
    3) I am great at leading a group, public speaking and engaging people in conversation.

    About you:
    You try to see all sides of a situation and that makes you one of the least judgmental people I know.

  18. Sharon Says:

    1) I am genuine. What you see is what you get.
    2) I care enough about my friends to remember their birthdays, anniversaries, and other special events.
    3) I am an excellent extemporaneous speaker.

    1. I am stubborn as hell, and when I put my mind to something it works out really well!
    2. I’m a great cook.

    Hilly is honest & kind with a twist of snarky humor–which makes her a helluva lot of fun!

  20. Karen Says:

    1. I believe in myself even when it is difficult.

    2. I am loving and nurturing.

    3. I a “go to” type of person in times of crisis.

    Karens last blog post..There’s A Problem

  21. SJ Says:

    About me:
    1. I’m still growing. Even though I’m past the half-century mark, I’m still learning and changing and expanding my consciousness. Someday I may actually be “grown up.”
    2. I’m the best mother in the world. I’m a ferocious tiger when it comes to protecting my baby girl. And she is comfortable talking to me about ANYTHING because she knows my love is unconditional.
    3. I remain hopeful. Even when I’m in the throes of a downswing, the little LED of hope is glowing deep inside. And I’m always up for a “fresh start.”

    About you:
    You’ve never once gotten us killed on the freeways. Although that one fast-lane-to-exit in 0.4 seconds on the 405 was a close call. Seriously, people, it’s somewhat of a miracle that this woman has never flipped a car. I don’t know why they bothered installing a brake in her Charger.

    Also: You are the best time in the world. FUN girl.

  22. Dragon Says:

    About Me:
    1. I can make people laugh.

    2. I make friends feel welcomed, valued and loved.

    3. I can prepare a 7 course meal for dinner guests and not break a sweat. :)

    About You:
    I’m always impressed by your ability to shape words into sometimes touching, sometimes heartbreaking, but always sincere sentiments.

  23. Finn Says:

    1. I am intelligent.
    2. I am a good listener.
    3. I am fiercely loyal.

    You’re not afraid to put your dark stuff out there. And you make me laugh. That’s two things but you’re worth the extra typing time. ;)

  24. Paige Says:

    1. I love my butt. It’s big, but has an amazing curvy shape to it.

    2. I’m extremely loyal to my friends, so much so that I still take flowers to a gravestone of a friend that died nearly 10 years ago.

    3. I’m not afraid to look stupid if it’s something I believe in.

    Paiges last blog post..Possible Diagnosis???

  25. TUWABVB Says:

    Three things I love about myself? Eesh. This is hard for me lately becasue I feel like I’ve been failing at everything…..so here goes:

    1. I can make conversation with anyone, hell, even anything (I often converse with inanimate objects). Not only can I make people feel at ease, I can identify that exact moment in the middle of a conversation when they start to relax as a result of my talking.

    2. I’m a great/anal organizer. I can de-clutter with the best of them and I do so on a regular basis. You won’t find closets crammed with junk in my house - just organized and labeled baskets.

    3. I truly appreciate my friends and I will stick by them through thick and thin.

    What I love about Ms. Snackie-Poo? I love that even though she feels vulnerable, she puts herself out there for us every day. I’ve learned so much about myself through readings your posts - you have no idea how much you have helped me.

  26. jessica Says:

    1) I’m always fair. Always always always. I HATE IT when people say “life isn’t fair!” I think that’s a cop out people use so that they don’t have to be fair.

    2) I absolutely love to take care of the people in my life.

    3) I can cook like nobody’s business. ;-)

    YOU:
    Amaze me with your writing. There is often so much raw emotion here, and you’re not afraid to be vulnerable. And then just as quickly, your next post is my funniest read of the day. There is a lot of BRAIN behind everything you write, whether or not you realize it…

  27. metalmom Says:

    I am honest.
    I give great head.
    I am great with kids.

    Not all at the same time though, that would be illegal.

    You my friend are honest, funny, a hearty laugher, fair, pretty….shall I continue?

    Because I am at work, I may have to reply back piece by piece so don’t think I am forgetting you if I don’t get to you right this second!

    :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  29. Hilly Says:

    Tori: You are a total fighter. I love that no matter what life deals you, you face it head on and yet still remain soft and not jaded.

    Sizz: You’re not afraid to examine the places inside of yourself that many other people are scared of. Mentally, I mean…not that innuendo stuff. ;)

    Sharon: You are just plain you…no airs, no pretense, no bullshit.

  30. Hilly Says:

    diane: Totally level-headed and drama free…and in this day and age, drama free is a total plus!

    Karen: You are so totally amusing to me, in a good way. Whenever I read one of your entries, I am smiling the whole way through.

  31. Hilly Says:

    SJ: I like the way you can step back, look inside yourself, make a decision to change something, then do it.

    Dragon: You are never afraid to share a kind word and when you say it, I feel like you mean it :).

    Finn: You’re an amazing writer whose soul totally shines through in everything that goes on the page.

  32. Penelope Says:

    I have come back to this post about 4 times today, trying to think of something to write! Not like me to struggle for something to say huh?!

    Okay, 3 things? Really? 3? Eeek!

    1. I’m learning that I’m a damn good Mum. Despite throwing my kids into a “divorce” household I didn’t fuck them up. They make me feel like at least I did something right.

    2. I’m extremely passionate. In *all* respects of the word heh!

    3. I can drink a lot of wine! (Does that count?)

    Hilly, what can I say about you? Hmmmm! You’re a proper top bird! ;o)

    Penelopes last blog post..Forever in blue jeans.

  33. Hilly Says:

    Paige: You are definitely true blue. You are one of the few people that stuck around when I decided not to be a “weight loss blogger” anymore.

    TUWABVb: I love that your acronym is harder than shit to spell! Seriously though, you are always so gracious and honest.

    Jessica: I said this to someone else but it fits for you too…you are a fighter. You have been through a lot since I’ve known you and you just kicked life in the balls whenever it dared to taunt you!

    MM: You’re like the perfect sweet and sour. You can snark with the best of us but also know how to hold someone’s hand when they don’t know where to turn.

    Penelope: You’re NOT a proper twat ;). Haha, but really you are trustworthy and I appreciate that!

  34. Linda~ Says:

    Me:
    1. I like my sacarstic sense of humor.

    2. I like that I’m loyal and give people the benefit of the doubt even when others won’t.

    3. I like the fact that my kids, now adults, are my friends and really like me.

    You:
    It’s my first time here, but I can see you have a great sense of humor.

  35. Angie Says:

    1. I’m a good cook
    2. I’m a good friend, and even if I’m just your acquaintance, if you need me, I’m there!
    3. I always follow the boy scout pledge - “do your best” - if you give me a task to do, I will do the best I can.

    About you:
    You are honest. Even when you do not reveal everything in your heart, it’s not in a dishonest way, more in a self-preservation way. Your honesty comes through in every post you write.

  36. martymankins Says:

    1. I generally try to accommodate everyone when in social settings.

    2. I like to think of something funny that leaves an impression on others.

    3. When I feel strongly about a certain subject or position, I tend to be vocal about it and reasonably act on ways to support it.

    martymankinss last blog post..Random Leakage #1

  37. TSM Says:

    Okay, I’ll throw my hat in.

    1. I am one of the most non-judgemental people I know. Sometimes to a fault. I look at people with the rosy glasses that see no faults, except those which were created by something outside that person’s control, and therefore making them worthy of love all the more. Sappy, but fuzzy.

    2. I have a nice rack. Triple D’s baby!

    3. I can sing like nobody’s business. AND write music/play instruments. Those dumbasses at Nashville Star had NO idea the talent they let slip through their fingertips. Thankfully I have a huge fan base here at home and regularly get my ego stroked.

    Oh…and lastly? I’m not bad lookin’, if I do say so myself!

    About you? I have to say one of the things I love about you is that not only are you a snarky smartass, but you’re truly SMART! I love the way you put your sentences together with just the right vocabulary to make me go “hmm…she’s smart!” and just enough snark to make me crush on you a little.

  39. DutchBitch Says:

    Hmmm… let’s see:

    1) I am a loyal friend to my friends and do my utmost to always be there for them

    2) I am a pretty kickass single mom, I think. The Kid loves being here and his friends love hanging out here too. And I’ve raised a great boy. So I think I did pretty well on my own.

    3) I like myself 99% of the time and that has taken a lot of work. But I finally do!

    About you:

    I think you kick ass for posting your inner most feelings and opinions here. I wish I could be so profound!!!

  40. adena Says:

    Um, let’s see….

    1. I am very creative. I can do all sorts of artsy fartsy things, whether it be writing, art, music, whatever. I don’t know that I’m GREAT at any of them, but I can do them, regardless.

    2. I am book smart. I’m the office’s dictionary. You honestly have no idea how many times a day I hear “Hey, Adena…what’s this word mean?” It’s actually kind of scary that they don’t know them, but whatever…:)

    3. I’m a good listener. I constantly find myself being told secrets. I don’t blab them around, either.

    and, on to you….

    You are smart, funny, a great friend, and DAMMIT, I wish you lived closer!

    Me:

    1. I like that I can still be effected by things and have not become jaded to things

    2. I am wicked good at making other people feel comfortable with computers… even if I’m making it all up… they feel good and that;s the point.

    3. I can hold a tune. Oh yes, the voice is returning!

    You:

    You are smart without being arrogant, funny without being pushy, beautiful on the outside whilst maintaining your inner beauty… and you make the world into a place where everyone can feel comfortable!

    I love that you give us this space (for both ranting and raving and self-love!)

    Three Things about me that I like:
    1. I do my best to be a loyal, non-judgemental friend.

    2. I have a lot of love in my life - both given and received.

    3. I am learning to be happy and comfortable in my own skin and learning to stand up for myself.

    What I love about you (and there are some many things I could chose here…) - I think that you are incredibly brave and strong to be as honest and open as you are here.

  46. Poppy Says:

    1. I will do anything for a friend/family member in need, without complaint or question.
    2. I am not high maintenance, and am in fact quite independent/do-it-myself-y. (WHO KNEW?!)
    3. I can solve complex problems without batting an eyelash but sometimes the answers to the simplest questions evade me. I love that quirk about me.

    Wow, I feel more conceited than my regular dose of blogger conceit. Yay, me!

    You are beautiful, intelligent, coy, mysterious, and you’re not afraid to take leaps.

    1 - I am really good at keeping things together at work. I do all of those behind the scenes things that make everything function, but make it look like it’s no big deal because it’s all stored in my head.

    2 - I have mad cooking skills.

    3 - After spending a lifetime trying to please everyone else, now I’m concentrating on pleasing myself. It’s time to be who I am and I’m letting myself do that.

    You - You’re bright, witty, and funny and you make everyone feel special.

    Hey! I’m a little late to this..but better late than never, right?!?

    1.) I like how I truly believe I can do/learn anything I set my mind too…it makes life fun learning all kinds of new stuff.

    2.) I think I’m a good mom, and like how good I am with kids of all ages.

    3.) Ummm…3? This is hard. Oh. I know. I have a good work ethic!! (lame I know)

    The thing I like about you Ms. Hilly is that you are so friendly and reach out to people (like myself!) that you really aren’t “close” with (yet!) but you still have this inviting presence that makes a person feel comfortable and truly want to get to know you better just because of how welcoming & accepting you are. I think that is a rare thing now days.

    EVERYONE - LIFE GOT CRAZY TODAY BUT I PROMISE I WILL ANSWER ALL OF YOU AS SOON AS I CAN!!!

  51. Karl Says:

    1. I love my sense of humor.
    2. I love that I’m honest and speak the truth.
    3. I love that I’m a good friend and loyal to the nth degree.

    YOU.

    I love that you are sweet and kind and fiercely loyal to your friends.

    Linda” Back atcha! The first impression of your blog was that you are funny and well-written!

    Angie: Loyal and true blue! You are another person that has been with me since the beginning and allowed me to change

    Marty: You are the perfect mixture of intelligent and funny. by the way, congrats on your upcoming nuptials!

    TSM: You inspire me to be a better person, and that’s no horse shit either!

  53. kim Says:

    1. I am loyal. Beyond what is normally recognized as healthy. I would kill for my family (thankfully that hasn’t been tested yet)

    2. I am so very gullible. I take everything at face value. If you tell me something I will believe you. I am capable of reading between the lines, and will probably figure out if you are just fucking with me. I now use my husband as a judge of character, because I have gotten burned so many times (see #1, now combine the two. I am fucked)

    3. I root for the underdog always.

    You: Warm and welcoming

  54. Hilly Says:

    Dutchy: You always know how to bring a smile to my face….and you are so caring a giving on your blog, always pimping others.

    Adena: Loyal, trustworthy, talented. totally funny (especially with those inside jokes).

    Motley: I love that you are so wise for someone so young.

    Shelli: Your conscience truly is your guide. Not many people can say that.

    Bec: No matter what you are going through, you always stop to think about someone else. You are beautiful that way.

  55. Artful Kisser Says:

    About me…
    1. I never sweat the small stuff. I may joke, laugh and bitch about it, but not prone to dwelling so it helps me get on with life.
    2. I hug openly and with great warmth. The more you give the more you get and I swear it makes life easier.
    3. I have really hot lips for kissing! Ask anyone…

    About you…
    I enjoy the multi-dimensional nature of your personality that comes through on your blog. Firstly you’re very likeable generally. Plus you’re very open and generous, but you’re also very honest and able to admit your own shortcomings and that’s refreshing.

    Artful Kissers last blog post..Random Conversation #36

  56. Hilly Says:

    suze: you’re just so real with it. I like that you say it like it is but with total kindness (which I sometimes lack).

    Poppy: You don’t let your friends feel bad about themselves for not meeting “societal standards”. You do this by both pointing out their good qualities and telling them to STFU..I love it!

    Floating Princess: You are an amazing friend who always stops to personally check on me when you know things are going rough. You’re just compassionate that way…

    Glenda: And I adore you for continuing to put yourself out there and share your innards. I know that is hard so I admire it in you.

    Karl: I love your penis and that you make coffee for me before I get up. Oh waiiiit…you are definitely one of the most loyal people I know. And you have my back even if you don’t agree with what I’m doing.

    Kim: You’re fucking funny. In fact, you are probably the ONE person who I continually wish had a blog. I think it would be witty, full of insight and just plain fucking awesome.

  57. Shelli Says:

    That is one of the best things that anyone has ever said to me, I think.

  58. Poppy Says:

    Societal standards can kiss my sweaty ass. I hate conformity. Too tidy and brainless and … sheepish.

    (I’m a straight shooter, shootin’ off in your di-rection!)

  59. Hilly Says:

    Artful Kisser: Is it lame of me to say that you are “cool”? Not like the stupid high school version of cool but just what *I* think of when I hear the word.

  63. Di Says:

    1. I am a very loyal, caring, friend I would do anything I could to help a friend out in anyway I can.
    2. Most of my friends have learned if you don’t want to hear the answer don’t ask the question with me.
    3. I am trying to work on moving out of my comfort zone and make new friends, and try things I haven’t before.

    You well I think that you are really funny, honest and friendly. Even when you are swampped or sick, or have your own issues going on. You will reach out to someone if they need a boost. :)

    You

  64. Hilly Says:

    bunny: Thanks for visiting! I don’t know you well enough to compliment you fully but you seem nice and cheery :).

    hello: You have a magnetic personality that just draws people in. It’s somewhat of a magical thing to watch!

    Di: Ha, I was going to say your second thing. I like the fact that you’d rather be honest than lie to spare feelings.

  65. hello haha narf Says:

    hilly, that was such a sweet thing of you to say. thanks for the kind words!
