What do you "assign" to the Shire?

A mini bonfire of the vanities. Even though I have no qualms about turning part of a cow into a handbag...

"A Handbag!"

I know, getting in a flap over a destroyed book! I was the same! I'd better not show that to davem or he will flip.

Mind, if it was a book on tax law or a Jeffrey Archer or something then I'm all for it

Meanwhile, a simple one. I assign bags of crisps to The Shire. A bit too tasty for their own good, they never fail to hit the spot, and they are made of taters.

Rainy cold windy blustery October days. *love* Coat and scarf weather. The weather where you're not frozen to the bone by going out, but coming in to the warm becomes so much more delightful than if it was just nice out. Weather that begs for a hot mug of cider to warm you back up.

a gorgeous long dress that makes up for the very belated debut, and a very nice garden to have the party. Satisfies even the inner Disney-ish princess in me.

But then you wouldn't want to be seen carrying a Jeffrey Archer gutted or otherwise... oh taxlaw books don't remind me - when I was lowest form of life in an accounts practice it was my task to update the blighters. They were in loose leaf binders and you had to replace the updated pages which had an ever more convoluted numbering system since the updates were seldom the same lengths as the parts updated. Now hopefully superseded by online reference....

I assign redecorating my room. I've recently had the urge to make my bland white walled room into an antebellum style room, I could not remember the last time I had so much fun! Staying up into the wee hours of the night, playing my George Strait CD's and rumiging through the attic looking at pottery and old curtains and antique swords saying: "Hmm, this looks old. Let's see how it will look over here."

I assign entering a classroom to take an exam with a clear mind. It feels so good to know that you weren't panicked during the test and that you answered every question to the best of your ability, and while you may not have answered all of the question correct you know that you got some big points that you wouldn't have seen if you were panicked.

Would that that happened during the years I was forced to maintain grades on the hard sciences... relaxed exams are a luxury for lovely little crammers like little Lindale.
