			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living with another adult is a very challenging thing to do. Every one of us is walking around with a big ol&#8217; bag of quirks slung over our shoulder. The trick is the find the person whose bag you can handle, the person whose quirks don&#8217;t send you running from the room in anger and/or frustration.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-107006" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/08/black-and-white-computer-boy-michelle.jpg" alt="black and white computer boy michelle" width="343" height="325" />Tiffanie Wong is a newlywed who writes a blog called <a href="http://www.myhusbandisannoying.com">My Husband Is Annoying</a>. Within the blog she shares her experiences with husband, Mark Joyella.</p>
<p>Some of his annoying traits appear to be his tendency to continually wear a particular green sweater, his over-use of a fake (bad) Irish accent, his love of fart jokes, basically the usual annoying man stuff. </p>
<p>Sometimes she gets negative feedback from readers who don&#8217;t understand why she&#8217;s not writing about newlywed-ed bliss, but Wong prefers to keep things realistic. The entries are not attacks. They are light-hearted and I get the feeling that if something was really bothering her, she&#8217;d talk to him about it and not the blog.</p>
<p>Annoying or not, Wong loves Joyella and that should be obvious to anyone who reads the blog, because it&#8217;s about all about him. I think a sign of trouble would be if, her blog was called something like, My Hot Doorman Is Annoying. Mark is a fan of the blog and apparently has veto power on both posts and photos.</p>
<p>Tiffanie Wong had this to say in <a href="http://www.lemondrop.com/2009/08/20/annoying-husband-admits-to-having-quirks/">an interview with Lemondrop</a>;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I love him because of his wacky, offbeat sense of humor; because he&#8217;s one of the smartest people I know and also one of best people I know.</p>
<p>&#8220;But mostly I love him because he totally gets me, loves me for exactly who I am and no matter how annoying I may be, he&#8217;d never write a blog about it!&#8221;</p>
<p>We had to check in with Mark on that one, and he agrees: &#8220;The cool thing about our relationship is we enjoy each other&#8217;s dorky quirks and laugh together about them. That&#8217;s why I like the blog.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I think <strong>My Husband Is Annoying</strong> is a celebration of those quirks. I know that in my relationship, the things that I treasure the most about my boyfriend are the goofy parts of his personality. Our quirks and goofy habits are the things that make us unique. They are what make a person an individual.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;ve been married for more than 20 years &#8212; a veritable &#8220;long and winding road&#8221;, and for some reason lately, I&#8217;ve been thinking about all of the little things in our relationship that make our little world so special.
When we were newlyweds, I had it in my head that the wife is supposed to know how to cook for her husband&#8230;but I didn&#8217;t.  I didn&#8217;t even know how to make coffee &#8212; seriously.
I remember the first meal I&#8217;d ever made him&#8230;again, thinking this is what men wanted, I made pot roast.

<p>We&#8217;ve been married for more than 20 years &#8212; a veritable &#8220;long and winding road&#8221;, and for some reason lately, I&#8217;ve been thinking about all of the little things in our relationship that make our little world so special.</p>
<p>When we were newlyweds, I had it in my head that the wife is supposed to know how to cook for her husband&#8230;but I didn&#8217;t.  I didn&#8217;t even know how to make coffee &#8212; seriously.</p>
<p>I remember the first meal I&#8217;d ever made him&#8230;again, thinking this is what men wanted, I made pot roast.</p>
<p>To me, pot roast meant that you bought a hunk of meat, put it in a pot of water, let it boil forever and then serve with potatoes and carrots.</p>
<p>This thing came out looking like a giant grey basketball.</p>
<p>Well, this is when I began to know how lovely my husband is.  I served him and he proceeded to eat every morsel.  I&#8217;m sure it was disgusting&#8230;but he said it was delicious.</p>
<p>As time went by, I taught myself how to cook.</p>
<p>I learned how to master the art of pizza dough-making, I practiced and practiced how to make fine spaghetti sauce&#8230;I think I even once attempted the recipe for New York&#8217;s famous Magnolia Bakery cupcake.</p>
<p>Recently, I decided to make a pot of chili&#8230;because I&#8217;d never done it&#8230;doesn&#8217;t chili always look so good on the Food Network?</p>
<p>Anyway&#8230;it came out extreeeemly hot&#8230;so hot that you really couldn&#8217;t enjoy it.  Well, he said he loved it.</p>
<p>I was ready to toss the whole thing, but he pleaded for me not to&#8230;&#8221;you can make chili dogs&#8221; he sweetly said.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s been doing stuff like that for 20 years.  And I guess sometimes it&#8217;s these little, gestures of admiration and respect that are among the things that have held us together.</p>
<p>p.s. He is in charge of coffee.</p>
