I remember birthdays being so much more magical then what they have been the last few years. When you're little everyone is so excited to wish you a happy birthday and give you lots of gifts right??? Well it totally isn't like that when you get older. Anymore its like people are more annoyed that they have to wish you a happy birthday or feel obligated to wish you a happy birthday for fear of maybe hurting your feelings.. That is the impression that I have felt the last few years and I must say, I am very disappointed with it. I for one love birthdays, its the only day out of the year that is solely all about you! You don't have to share gift giving, you have a whole song sang to just you, and "its my party and I'll cry if I want to!".
The last 3 years of birthdays for me have actually been pretty enjoyable. The first was my 21st so really that one should be self explanatory, last year was my 22 and Sky bought me a bike (best boyfriend ever)!!! And this year it was just a mellow normal day. I of course had to go to work because even though it was a day all about me I couldn't have that mentality unfortunately. After work I went to school and got to leave early so my whole day wasn't just spent being a "responsible adult". Skyler and I went out to a little Thai restaurant for some dinner and just relaxed the rest of the evening.
I wished that even though you get older you can still have as much fun with your birthdays as you did when you were little. I mean, when you're a little kid you can ditch school and have these awesome themed parties and fun sleepovers with games and a bunch of shitty food to eat all night. When you're young all you wish for is that you want to be older and then when you get older all you want to do is get younger. Unfortunately only one of these things really does happen. I am looking forward to getting older though. I see it as, when I am older I will have my life set up and can just enjoy things. Not to say that I don't enjoy things now but when your older life just seems to be more "real".
As the years go on my birthday wishes have definitely gone down to really nothing. I am more just about being with the people that I care about and love and just wanting to spend time with them rather than having people spend money on me for things I have wished for. I have a bad habit of not telling people what I want because I really don't like when people spend money on me for things that I probably really don't need just want, when I know that they could be spending it on themselves for things that they need or want. I don't know where this whole thing came from but it really gets to me! its like having buyers remorse only I think I would call it "birthday gift remorse".
I guess I just need to accept the fact that as I get older things change and people change too. For now that's how it is and that THIS IS MY LIFE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

Hello to the blogging world
Hello!!
My name is Cori Lynne Hodgson. I have 23 years under my belt and looking forward to what ever else comes my way. I currently live in the land of Salt (which really isn't that bad if you can get past all the crazy weather, insane people, and the bad smell from the lake every now and then). I am the youngest of three, the only girl which really amazes me that I didn't grow up to be more of a Tom-boy. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a good fart or mud fight but boogers and bugs definitely are NOT my thing.
To be honest I think I am starting this blog just say I have one. I'm not necessarily looking to have followers (if I do that's awesome) but I think really I am doing it more so I have a place to put all my thoughts, whether they by good, bad, sad, happy, or even down right pissed off. I don't really plan on having a set topic to write about on this just what I feel appropriate for the time being. I have never really been one to keep a journal and I kind of regret it now. Not saying that blogging is really going to be journal but someplace to keep my thoughts safe.
I just want to know that I have made impact in someones life. Now with that said I do have to mention the people in this world who have made an impact on my life. The first and probably the most important person in my life (aside from the second) is my mother, Tracy. She is the greatest mother out there! Really she is! I know that everyone says that about their mother's but mine truly is the best. sorry world you're missin out!! She is my best friend and I only hope to one day be as great of a woman as she. Now on to the second person being my AMAZING boyfriend Skyler. He has been my rock the past two and a half years and I cant imagine my life without him. He has shown me so many ways to be a better person and has opened my eyes to many possibilities that I other wise would not have seen so for that I am forever grateful. The third and fourth are my two brothers Jeremy and Kyle. Jeremy is such a sweet and loving person. He has this mentality about him and it could just be me that sees it but one day I too will have the same. As for Kyle, He is one of a kind (in the good way). His heart is too big for his sleeve sometimes and I envy that about him. They both have made such a huge impact on my life and have both taught me some serious life leasons and helped mold me into the BEAUTIFUL WOMAN that I am today.
Now for some more background about me. I am currently going to school to be a Cosmetologist and am loving every minute of it!!! I remember back when I was in High School I was constantly told right when I graduated that I needed to go right into college and to make a life for my self. but really who knows what they want to be or even who they are when they have been told what to do for their wholes lives up to that point? Really if you think about it, at that age you have been in school 13 years of your 17-18 years of life. I think that is where I differ, I have always known that cosmetology is where I belong. I feel that making others look good is what I was put here on this earth to do. I have never not once doubted that I belonged there.
Anyway, I think that is all that this lady can type for one night. I hope that this will bring a smile to someones face and if nothing else to mine. So for now blogging world I leave you with this,
THIS IS MY LIFE, TAKE IT LEAVE IT
