What do you "assign" to the Shire?

Me too, though I suppose my idea of cooler weather at this time of year differs a bit from yours. We've had it like 7-10 C (about 43-50 F, I think) for the last week, which was awesome. This week is going to be a bit warmer, though - today I could go to school in a T-shirt.

And red trees. Amazing.

I assign... going to sleep with a tiny (large-mouse-sized) baby possum curled up against my neck.

You adopted the one your cat brought home? Cute.

Defeating the evils of modern technology! I have fought the effects of Firefox and all but won, only one thing flashes up now and that's a computer thing not an internet one. Mwhaha Firefox, you have been beaten.

Ooh, also, small children who randomly hug and kiss you throughout the day.

I assign that I properly learned the akkusativ in my German class today! Yay!

German grammar belongs to Mordor, not the Shire.

My creative writing teacher. Not only is she probably the funniest teacher I've ever had, she's also very nice and very lenient with timetables. Oh, she's great.

Well, not the whole thing. I may pretend to be able to write in German at times, but I can never pronounce it to save my life. But the fact that I learned properly the basics, that I assign to the Shire!

I assign too the very successful anniversary stuff of UPWC. And the free dinner that came after it.

I also assign the fact that today, it did not rain!

Not permanently– the other cat's a hunter, and clearly had designs on it. We took it to a wildlife shelter.

I assign to the Shire the University of the Philippines Writers Club's eighty-first anniversary today! Long live the Writers Club! (Even though fifty or so years of that was spent on hiatus. )

Movies that really succeed in capturing the atmosphere of the book they're based on. They are rare these days and therefore belong to the Shire.

I'm not sure, though, if hobbits had enjoyed The Hours or Blindness, but I don't care. They belong to my personal Shire.

Saving the environment by recruiting the rabid members of a national student business organization. Boy do I know how to delegate.

No, seriously, though... it feels really good to know that I picked the right person for the job. Major problem, and rather than me going off on some crusade by myself that I wasn't likely to win, I talked to one person, she talked to one person, there was a cabinet meeting, and now it's being fixed. It took 24 hours. W00t.

Yes. I said w00t.

Speaking of weather, it's been about the same temperature wise here. I like being up north!

I also assign mountains to the Shire! Yesterday after church, my family drove up the mountains! It really is nice living in a city surrounded by mountains! It was quite high though, and it doesn't help that I don't like heights...

I assign babies. I know, grouchy Fea who doesn't want kids? Assigning babies and wee ones to the Shire?

Okay, so I spent the weekend at home, and my cousins' spawn are downright adorable. Filthy. I don't want to know what got on me when I picked up maternal second cousin #8, but he's a year old and he cuddles...

I could second that!

Mountains! Yes, right on Lady Great! I live in the hill country in Texas and it is absolutely beautiful, the bigger those hills get the better it becomes.

I assign Autumn colors to the Shire. We don't get much change in the leaves where I live, but just seeing pictures from Vermont and Michigan, with their orange, yellow and brown maple trees, makes me smile.
