TMJ, Lockjaw, whatever. I have it. I went to the dentist yesterday knowing that I had a small case of it, but it had progressed. I now have to get a splint thing to wear at night for the mere cost of $500. Can you believe that!? I never realized the cost of being alive! I sure miss my parents paying for everything. I told my mom about my lockjaw issues and she was like, “I want to pay for that. You are still in school and you are going to be needing this splint thing now, so let us do that for you.” I feel bad about it. Its like Will and are supposed to be on our own, so I feel bad taking advantage of my mom’s generosity. She is always so willing to help, but I can imagine that it gets tiresome for her. Maybe that’s just a mother’s nature or something- to help out her kid. I don’t know. I think she thinks back to her days when her and my dad were first married and dirt poor and her dad bailed them out a time or two, but its different with me and Will- we are good at budgeting things-we just don’t have $500 laying around! So I don’t know what to do. I guess I will let her go ahead and do it, afterall, there is coming a time when the whole “we’re newly married and poor” thing won’t work. Anyone else had issues with your parents about that?

Today has been a good day. It’s “my” Friday, the day Will and I spend the whole day together, and I think I may be driving him crazy. Nonetheless, he is still being wonderful. My mom got us a big picture of one of our favorite poses from the wedding during Christmas, but I had yet to frame it. It was laying there all sad, longing to be put in a frame, so today we went and picked one out and the matting and all of that stuff. I feel bad- I know Will was going crazy because I was being so indecisisive about all of the different mattings and frames and everything. Finally, he said I should call my mom since she would know better than either of us would. So I did. She met us up there and helped us pick a nice matting for our frame. I know Will was relieved to get out of there. I am terrible about making decisions like that.

Finally the weekend! We don’t have any big plans or anything. Its a big deal in our house because all DirectTV subscribers are getting STARZ free this weekend, so it looks like a movie marathon for us tonight. Those weekend trial things are great for newlyweds.

I guess that’s about all that’s been going on! Have a good weekend!
