Look At This Face
It's finally happening. My little brother is getting married this weekend. *Sigh*
Anyone want to take bets on how many times I'll hear, "So Linny...where's your boyfriend?" or "So Linny...when are you going to settle down? Everyone else is beatin you to it!"
I need to practice my snappy comeback lines. I'll do that on the drive up since we'll have 2 hours to kill. Kate's riding with me so she can throw hypothetical scenarios at me so I can test my verbal reflexes.
Kate's in the wedding (her best friend is the bride) so I'll have the munchkin all weekend. Here's to some serious bonding time and hoping he walks down the aisle to me like he's supposed to. (He's the ring bearer.)

Good luck.....
wish i could think of a snappy comeback....
Good Luck....
My favorite comeback when someone says, "SOOOOO TK, when can we start planning your wedding?" I say "I don't know, when can we start planning your funeral?" It's even funnier if it's your disgustingly annoying old great aunt.
I like your blog. HOpe you don't mine if I stop by again.
That ring bearer is going to steal the show... so cute!
awww cute baby
tell the nosy kin PX had a polo match up at Oxford this weekend.
You got blog Spam!!! You never get blog spam...
Anyway, you'll be fine this weekend, just tell them to shove it. And after that, its nothing a few drinks wont take care of. You'll be very witty, when you're drunk and telling people to shut the fuck up, and reminding them that you arent a lesbian. LOL!!!
As for the comments you left at the bottom of your last post. My picture is suppose to creep people out. Its a scary halloween picture. Boo! :)
LOL!! Linny goddess of sex, just on the wrong continent. I know I stole it from a movie, but im funny nevertheless.
Oh ya...Colby's a cutie!!
love the one of the piggy back. adorable. good luckl
My younger brothergot married 2 years ago and they had a baby 2 months ago. Every time I talk to any member of my family I am ridiculed, insulted, shamed. Now they think that my youngest brother who is 24 will beat me to it.
After a while you just become immune to the shit. Its already hit the fan so why bother?
Much happiness to bro and sil, hope you all have a perfect day! First up, to make bound to be so, the sweetest looking ring bearer, I ever did see. :-)
Just keep those reflexes sharp and all the So Linny's that they can throw at you, will bounce off so fast they'll have them spinning. Leaving you to dance and be merry, and potentially check out unknown guests of the male pursuasion. :-D
At least they are still asking, I think, mine have given up on me. :-D
Linny- If that little blonde kid in the pictures is your little brother who's getting married, then he must be at least 20 years older now than when that picture was taken. If he's 20 years older, why do you look exactly the same now as you did in those pictures? And why are you wearing the same green shirt in the pictures with your brother as you are in the England pictures? I'm starting to suspect that maybe you're a 50 year old woman just posting pictures of yourself from 20 years ago.
And if you are 50 years old, it's no wonder that your family wants to know why you're not married yet. When you get asked at the reception why you're not married yet, just loudly and proudly respond, "Because I like women." I'll bet you $50 that gets guys to notice you.
Joe...lol. I just may have to do that.
Stupid spam! I NEVER get spammed, must be because I said that to Phil. So it's payback. I deleted the little fuckers though.
Thanks PP. :o) Would you believe I got my first question last night and that it came from one of my idiot brothers? We were talking about my sister-in-law being pregnant (we're at the dinner table in front of the whole family-including some that had flown in from out of state) and he says, "Linny, isn't it your turn to pop one out? What's going on?" Stupid Fucker. I never liked him anyway.
Autumn: Thanks, I sure think he's adorable. Too bad he's going through the terrible 2's. As for finding guys at their wedding, I find that doubtful. They're having a country/western wedding. *sigh* Only rednecks allowed...(not literally but that's mostly what will be there.)
Yrautca: I've never gotten the immunity shot but I need to find out where I can get one b/c it still annoys the hell out of me.
Phil: Seriously. 50? Come on...you can do better than that!
cute little munchkin! nephews are the best.
Snappy comebacks.. (if it's a couple and they're narky) me? oh I prefer to find my disappointment in new people each time.
if it's someone you don't want to offend too much, "nah I'm planning on being one of those weird cat ladies who babysits your grandkids" and joke it off.
That photo is precious Linny - just precious.
A good come back I use is why? So I can plan my divorce like you?
Yeah, that one pretty much stops traffic
POP ONE OUT. Classy.
When men ask if you have a boyfriend say, "No, do you?"
What a cutie!
Hope the wedding ridicule wasn't too bad. Let me know if you come up with some good snappy comebacks. (I need some myself. :)
Have fun. I suggest some shocking responses, they might shut people up.
Cute Pics, good luck with the dreadful questions. I just had some relatives down, their daughter is getting married, she's much younger than me. As well all the family friends kids are getting married....
and if you came up with any great ones, please share. My bro's wedding is in 2 weeks. Yikes.
I was at my cousin's wedding last weekend and only ONE person asked me if I was dating! My mom and I had made up fake boyfriends for me in the car on the way over. One was Phillipe, who teaches French Lit at Stanford. ;)
Just say something like "well... I'm seeing a couple guys right now. they are both so sweet, I can't decide." This will make boring married people seething jealous. :)
Hope it went okay. He is a cutie, looks like a nice bf to me :)
Just tellthem you're gay and your girlfriend is working and couldn't make it. Works for me every time.
How about changing the subject to something so annoying after they ask you so that when they ask you why you would talk about that, you can tell them, "why did you you ask me a stupid question", then smile and walk away.
Just play it bitter/crazy and randomly start screaming, "Rot in hell you married SOB's. ROT. IN. HELL!"
Nobody will ask you ANYTHING after that - guarantee it :)
If they go So Linny,...again, why don't you throw the ball into their court, and ask them to fix u up with someone, put the responsibility/ guilt etc on them for not looking out for you?
I noticed you have been wearing your green T-shirt A LOT! Must have liked it tonns! :)
Hey, you're back from your trip already! I've been missing all those posts! Have fun at the wedding :) xox
Here's a snappy response to the When are you going to settle down question:
Settling is something that happens to your ass when you give. Why the hell would I want to ruin what God gave me?
And strut the hell out of that conversation and make out with the hottest waiter (sans mullet) you can find.
What a little cutie. I love toddlers.
