Where did it go?

And I don't mean my tan. I'm well aware where that went ~ directly into the dumpster, along with my razorblades, as soon as December reared it's pale holiday head.

I mean January! Pardon the clee-shay, because I'm fairly certain everyone is saying this today, but January flew by like Justin Bieber on his way to the harem pants sale. 

Whew, so speedy. Run, barely-of-age "rapper," run!

JB, I bet even in penguin pants, you look less awkward than me.

With February a-lurkin', today I'm linking up with Ashley @ Dancing with Ashley for a month-end "Favorite Things" post! 

January Warm-Fuzzies
1. I got to spend a whole weekend with my best friend. And it. was. awesome. Y'all read all about it, but a blog post can't convey my actual happies. Erin is like a sister to me {Sorry, Broseph, you're really cool, but you know I always wanted a seester, too.} and getting to spend even a day with her is truly like my soul's drug. Er, I love you so much!

2. As evidenced there ^, I love red roses. Almost more than I love puppy fat rolls, and that's a lot. 

I also love having an amazing Glenn Coco husband in my life who brings me no-reason roses on a Sunday afternoon.

3. Scale of 1-10, how dramatic is it to say "this toner has changed my life!"? Because that's real talk, y'all. And by life I mean skin, and by skin I mean I don't look like a walking allergic reaction anymore. I have annoyingly sensitive skin that always has one huge zit but then is dry everywhere else. Super cool and super treatable. False. Basically, get this toner. Screw the Vitamin E ~ I'm 99% certain it's made from angels' tears.

4. This stink-nugget is my favorite every month. I mean, that belly... How could I not?

If you've been around here longer than a hot sec, you know this Buggy is my child. But what you don't know is the way she wiggles up to me every day when we get home from work and the speech bubble above her head says, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER. THANK GOD YOU CAME BACK!" Or that she's an excellent guard dog and fiercely loyal to Glenn and me. To. A. Fault.  Or that she's almost five years old but still has sweet puppy breath. Maybe she's born with it; maybe it's Buggalline.
5. You, you, you, you, and YOU. You wanna know a fun fact about Southern Living, Our Way? This bloggy blog doesn't have followers. Nope, not a single one. This blog has READERS. And readers are my favorite thing in this wide whole world. I laugh with y'all, I cry to y'all, I share the snarkiest most random shit with y'all, and yet you still stick around! I have readers who come hang out here every day, actually reading my ramblings and leaving sweet comments that make my heart go thump-thump. Readers, reading. It's novel, really. Thank you, from the bottom of my snark-spittin' heart  :)
6. Those things up thar are favey and all, but this miiiiight just be my biggest favorite this month: One of my best blog friends, Erin, took a huge leap of faith and started offering custom blog design! {Well, it was actually last month, but her success is INSANE and she's designing bloggy blogs left and right!} Y'all, this girl is good.  And she's about to be even better to one of you! First, check out her amazingness...

GIVEAWAY ENTRY. My blog's name is Southern Living, Our Way - I'm Southern but far from a Belle. I love sweet tea and fried chicken, but prefer being healthy to looking like Mama June.
