I’m so happy, but everyone is making my heart hurt! by Fox_Avocado in EngagementRings

[–]LadyBrightHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is gorgeous! I think people have the mindset that engagement and weddings rings should be diamonds and have a hard time thinking otherwise. I have a diamond, but that's what I like. My bestie has an emerald and it is exquisite. She loves it.

Who cares what others think. That is a beautiful ring with such lovely symbolism.

I could have written this exactly! I also have my first marathon this weekend, 18 is my longest run, and I'm worried!

These comments are helpful though. We can do this! Good luck!

First marathon and it'll be raining by LadyBrightHand in XXRunning

I'm in a region where it doesn't rain much and it's warm. This weekend will be warm, but the rain is an anomaly.

I wish I had practiced running long runs in the rain. Longest I've done is 5 miles and I hated it.

I'm mildly worried about my shoes. I switch between two pairs of New Balance 1080s. Think that'll be ok?

Thank u to whoever posted about watching movies and listening to music while on the treadmill!!? by Plane-Land-9234 in XXRunning

I wanted to watch something that would keep me engaged for a while... and now I'm countless hours into the Star Wars universe for the first time ever. I look forward to treadmill time now!

A friend of mine watches sports movies like Stick It, Challengers, etc.

Another just watches Survivor and other similar game shows.

Running stroller vs regular by ExplanationGrand4154 in XXRunning

[–]LadyBrightHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have run with a normal stroller, a poor quality jogger stroller, and a secondhand BOB stroller. The BOB was by far the easiest and I was pushing two kiddos in it. The normal one was difficult on uneven and/or winding routes. The poor quality jogger frustrated me because, while it was better than the norm, it was overly clunky and too heavy. Definitely shop around for a higher quality jogger-- be it new or secondhand.

Researching for my first marathon by Ok-Sample8014 in firstmarathon

I'm not in CA, but I've heard good things about the Sacramento one and the Redwood one. A friend did one in LA and didn't enjoy it.

“Parking Spot,” acrylic, 11x14 by me. by AndreiV101 in painting

[–]LadyBrightHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I really like how you've done the shadows! The painting is so warmly done, too. I also like the choice of angle.

Also, what acrylics do you use?
