well, i'll do it like this.
THE NEWS
today i came to ride, and madeline and karl pulled up into their driveway RIGHT after mom and i came, but i was already in the barn. i thought that they were just mingling around....so i was saying hey to all the horses that were in [lordy and reno weren't in...], and karl, madeline and my mom were just standing around, moon faced. well, they were talking! so, i'm like "hey!" and then a 10 seconds short summary of my trip. then, it was like silent for a moment and madeline says, "lindsey, there's been a problem." at that, i lost all the blood in my face. i thought that reno had died or something. but no, it was just as bad. madeline's prized gelding, Cisco II [cisco], broke-down. i was really really really in a state of shock. basically, i think that cisco just had a bad jump, and it threw him over the edge. well, cisy is 15. =D
so, i don't really wanna go into all the detail, because it makes me feel all dizzy and lightheaded like i felt when she told me.
so, this means that reno won't be up for sale anymore. this means that reno will be taking cisco's place!! xD so, i'm excited for reno. his first rated show is in two weeks, so that should be exciting...haha. omgg, that reminds me. reno got 4 shoes!! xD he hasn't really needed shoes until now, because he needs studs. xD
THE RIDE
so, i rode reno today. =D he was awesome, because he's nice and quiet now. but, i do like his wild side...haha. i was jumping the new cross-country jump today. it was sweeeeet! reno was also getting his leads nicely in the field while jumping. we only asked for his better lead, the left lead, in the ring because we wanted him to stay quiet. oh yes, that reminds me. reno is 400% better in dressage now. he is really stretching down now, and listening more to the rider by just a smidge. it's very nice though. he's going onto the bit easier and more nicely now also. i love it. =D except, now i need to use a big dressage whip so that he will think about dressage. xD
random news that needs a bolded title
so, i had a sweet friend who babysit me and al tonight, and we were walking allll over my town. i decided to ride my wave board instead. al and moira, babysitter, rode scooters. so i was coming down a sidewalk, and lost control of my board and crashed. really, i tried to stop but i ended up crashing anyways. whoops. so now my pinkie finger that i thought was dead-ish has developed a hard and VERY swollen bruise. i also have a HUGEEE cut on my left palm, and a really harsh rock dent thing on my left arm. my elbow got some damage too. my left leg was just kinda scraped and all dry, but a little bloody. so, i sat there on the sidewalk completely in pain but not knowing what to do. so i cried. =D then had to walk home!

districts from tonight;; ♥|♥
can i say OH MY GAWD???
ok, well, so, here's the deal. this year for championships, the commitee or what-not got smart and decided to have districts/semi-finals tonight and at 4 different CC's instead of all on one day at one CC or pool. sooo, there were dual meets at all four CC's, but at BCC there were 3 CC's because the 3rd CC was reallllyyy small, so it was just like a mega team i guess. xP
anyway, tonight was kind of the night when you wanted to swim faster than your seed time so that you could make it into finals. then at finals, swim ya hart out baby. xPP sooooo, my events tonight were 50 [meter] butterfly and 50 [meter] breaststroke. i dropped THREE SECONDS on fly, placing THIRD!!!!!!! woooo-hoooo!! on breast, i kinda sucked. i was second, and dropped .20 seconds!! woo?? haha, "a drop's a drop" as J-WRIGHT says. i placed 2nd in breast...no biggie.
i was really hyper tonight so i took a picture of my friend in my sunglasses making a wierd face. she loked at it and was like, "i look like i'm mugging you!" so we had a good laugh. then, before i left i took a picture of aaron's hair, because it was like, DEAD straight up and had orange spray lines. XD i luffed it. aaron usually spikes his hair, but tonight he put it straight up; i cracked up. so the picture is really bad, because you can't see any orange. oh well, i guess!! XD
MUCHHH LUFFF
the HYPER lindzzzzzzz
[NOTE: CC = Country Club ~~ CC's = Country Clubs ~~ BCC = Brookside Country Club [i swim for bcc] BCC Colors?? = ORANGE [and black]!!]

i'm B-AAAAA-CKK;; ♥|♥
sooo, i got home last night around 6, 6:30-ish. but to my body, it felt like 11-ish. i'm still jet lagged. i hate jet lag. grrrrrr.
anyway, my trip back was ummm frightful and delightful. interesting, right? well, first we had EXTREMELY tight connections between flights, so our first flight from inverness to gatwick was ok. then, gatwick to newark was omg omg omg. we had the terminal the FARTHEST away from us, and we thought that we were going to miss the flight. luckily, the boarding line was held up for some odd reason, so we slipped in unnoticed for our inactivity. then, we fly over the big drink of water for 6 hours and 20 minutes and land in newark, new jersey. so, all is well and then we get to customs and security in newark. yikes much. we had to sprint to the gate, and hold the plane for my dad. [my dad has two artifical hips. they were replaced about 6 years ago, because we was born with arthritis on his hips.] well, there was ANOTHER hold-up, but this time is was in the chute that lets you go onto the airplane. so, we slipped in unnoticed again. xD once we board the plane, it's clear that it's hot. it was 97 * F outside, and the piliot told us that the a/c was low. so, there's a stupid screaming baby with a dumb-butt mother in a 97 degree airplane. "luckily", alec [my brother] and i got "lovely" seats in the back of the plane next to a silent and creepy looking guy from japan. then, we wait at the gate because the people had to do "paper work" so that the a/c would work. by now, the flight attendants are serving ice cold water, and these abnoxious kids are running up &. down the aisle. so, then we all get ready to take off, and we push off from the gate in extreme heat and hurting eardrums. once we get on the runway, there's a GIANT line for take-off and landing, so the piliot tells us that we have a long wait. but then, they tell us that newark decided to close up. omg it was horrible. we sat in on the runway for an hour, then newark re-opened and we took off. the 1 hour and 10 minute flight felt longer than the 6 hour flight. the heat was horrible, and this baby was screaming it's head off. there was sooo much air turbulence, and yikes i hated it.
so, then we get to the home airport to discover that my luggage and my dad's luggage didn't make the connection from newark. so, this morning it 'magically' arrived at our doorsteps. xP
well, that's pretty much my trip there. haha, not really. i'll get some pics up and going, and it will be great. =D
