Happy Photo Friday everybody!

Here’s a picture of my husband at the Transit Museum.  This fake bus is meant for the kids to sit in and play on but my husband decides to hog the seat so he could pretend to be a bus driver. See that kid looking on?  That’s my nephew and he’s patiently waiting his turn to get in there.

From Jen:

“I am constantly amazed by my husband’s daring self confidence  (and seemingly inability to be embarrassed).  He actually donned this outfit during a kid’s Halloween parade when he was teaching and marched up and down streets in New Haven leading his class of ‘fruit salad’…only a true man can proudly mascaraed as a watermelon, don’t you think?”

From Jessica in Austin, TX:

“This one is mine…  He’s that big macho guy that is a total dork behind closed doors.  We were on vacation, and he came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his head.  He then began to wiggle his hips and do a “swami dance” (not sure where he got this).  However, each time he let go of his towel to do his dance, it would fall, so I waited patiently until he got his joke just right.  He finally got the towel to stay by holding onto it while he danced.  Sorry about the picture quality, but all I had was a cell phone.”

From Karley:

“My wonderful husband pretends to be a zombie. Yes. I said zombie. He insists on making his zombie face and trying to eat my face. Seriously. I am still trying to figure out how I only have ONE picture of this, because it’s a daily occurance. Iwonder what our kids will think.”

From Melinda:

“My husband loves buffets.  I hate buffets.  As we were leaving the buffet (which I hate) he spotted brownies on the table and ran back grabbing a few ‘for the road’.  Almost to the car I noticed…..’honey ya gotalittlesomethin’ right there’”

From Carina in San Diego, CA:

“My fiance cannot take a single picture without making a face…here are several examples…”

And finally, this comes to us from Elisheva, it’s not exactly a picture of her husband but it cracked me up anyway:

“My husband sent me this email from his iPhone while in the bathroom.

Subj:  No toilet paper!

Msg:  What do I do?”

♦Thanks for all your great pictures; I’m getting so many, it’s getting hard to pick which ones to use! Think you can top these?  Prove it!  Send me your pictures to myhusbandisannoying@live.com.

And who doesn’t love Photo Friday?  (Well, probably not my husband or a lot of other husbands out there but I definitely do!)

Here’s a picture of my husband that he took himself.  He was in an empty courtroom and felt compelled to take a self-photo of him shouting “This entire court is out of order!”.  He says he was “gettin’ his Law & Order on”.  Whatever that means.

From “LadyTwnks”

“This is my hubby, TheEngineer.  We went to the zoo this summer while my kids were here.  This is a drinking fountain at the zoo, near the kid’s section (where the petting zoo is).  So since he’ll do anything to make me laugh…”

From Angel:

“My husband LOVES going to Disneyland with the kids.  One day after returning to our hotel room, he just couldn’t mask his enthusiasm for Mickey Mouse. This disturbing picture was the result.”

From Megan:

“One night while we were watching TV my boyfriend decided instead of laying on our Restoration Hardware couch (that is the size of a twin bed mind you) he would rather pull the dog bed from the other room and cuddle with the dogs… Where are the dogs? They are laying on the couch with me!”

From Kate:

“This is what happens when you happen to be taking pictures of your husband, and you utter the phrase ‘could you please smile so you don’t look like death warmed over in these photos?’”

From Margaret:

“Although I love him to death, one thing that makes me absolutely crazy is his inability to have a normal face in photographs.  We were married two weeks ago on August 29th.  Sadly our photographer did not show up so all we have is the pictures that our guests took.  They are a compilation of winks, tongues out and winks with tongue out.”

If you don’t see your photo here, don’t worry…it could be in a future Photo Friday.

And if you haven’t already sent me the ridiculous pictures of your significant other that you know you’ve got stored away, what are you waiting for?!?  Email them to me at myhusbandisannoying@live.com.

Happy Friday everyone!

Let’s begin with this picture of my husband eating fire at Coney Island; he did this for an assignment for work and he was so proud of himself after, he couldn’t stop talking about it.  I, of course, didn’t love the gasoline breath he had for days following this.

Also note The Green Sweater!

I got some great pictures from you guys over the last week!

From Stacey (a newlywed…she’s only been married for a month!):

“This is my husband last Christmas right after he got his shoulder-length hair cut for Locks of Love. Apparently he was worshiping the ‘Hair God’…”

Stacey, it may be a goofy picture but at least it’s a good haircut!

From “laughingallegra” (Not her real name obviously but she didn’t include her name with the picture):

“There are two things about my husband and photos that irk me.  First is that most of the time if it’s a group shot he will use his fingers to make someone have ‘horns,’ just like a junior high school kid, and secondly he thinks it will be funny if he sticks out his tongue!  It isn’t only the young husbands that do these things.  This kind of behavior doesn’t have any age boundaries.”

So, I have years of this kind of behavior to look forward to with my husband? Great…

From Ashley:

“My fiance is a die-hard Chicago White Sox fan.  Even though they’re in different divisions, he absolutely hates the Chicago Cubs, their fans…everything about them.  So, he has this shirt that says ‘Wrigley Field: Home of the World’s largest gay bar!’  He doesn’t wear it often, so when he decided to wear it for a night of drinking…much to his dismay, it, (direct quote from him), ‘must have shrunk or something’.  Stand back ladies, he’s mine.”

Wow, Ashley.  Not only is that quite a shirt he’s got on but the face he’s making is pretty hot too.  He’s aaaalllll yours!

From Darcy:

“I love my fiance Aaron to death, and your blog reminds me of him all the time… he vacillates between the most annoying man I’ve ever met, and the most hilarious man I’ve ever met (usually I find him fairly amusing!).  He is obsessed with this cat toy, the cat cube. He likes to place it on his head, and often tries to place it on MY head (I frown on that) However he was very proud of this picture.”

And another from Darcy, which I had to include because who doesn’t love a picture of their man cuddling a 40 of Budweiser as if it were his one true love?

And finally, From Hannah in the U.K.:

“So I was reading your blog again today, looking at the pictures of other wives and girlfriends annoying husbands and boyfriends and recalled a ‘wonderful’ outfit that my boyfriend had me help put together. He’s a physics student at the University of Cambridge, and so he eats, breathes, talks and now even wears physics. What’s funny is, I actually think he thinks he’s a robot sometimes. The first picture has been his facebook profile picture for almost a year…”

Hannah, I think your boyfriend and my husband should go on a man-date and do the Robot together!

♦Thanks for all your great pictures and keep ‘em coming!  Send me any goofy, funny or just plain ridiculous pictures of your significant other to me at myhusbandisannoying@live.com.  (And what about all you men out there?  Send me pics of your wives or girlfriends [even women pose for bad photos too...I should know, there's quite a few of me that I wouldn't want out there!]; if I get enough, I can do a special women’s edition of Photo Friday!
