here ogo again. . .

So my sister gave me an OGO for X-mas/Birthday this year. A number of the family member's birthdays fall in December/January so we kinda practice a little of the 'killing of two birds with one stone' kind of gift giving. And besides then you can feel like you can give/get one larger present sometimes. Her birthday is tomorrow. I have no idea what to get her this year. Last year was easy. . . I knew exactly what to get her. This year, she seems to have it all. And I stuck without a car, barely able to prepare for my move to Austin Sunday. . .

Did I mention I was moving to Austin? I keep forgetting who I've told. I feel like I haven't hardly told anyone. Sunday will come and go. People will be wondering why they didn't see me, but then forget until another week flies by and I'm already in tym-buk-too training for campus ministry. Not being able to give a formal g'bye is strange. . . but in some ways it almost seems easier. I'm going to miss Portland. But I do believe that I will be back. Boy, I'm not really looking forward to this packing business. Grrr. . . I'm kinda dragging my heels to/thru it.
