D.E. of a D.W.

Yesterday was an eventful day. It started out like "the new norm". I woke up to the other side of my bed empty, my man got a call to go to work. After grabbing my phone, cigs, lighter, and keys, I headed to and rode the elevator down three floors to my father's apartment. After several knocks on my father's door at the right time, my dad had his tv blaring so I had to knock in the few seconds the tv when silent, I walked in to tell my father happy birthday. It's not everyday your father turns 71 and that's only if you are blessed with having your father still on this earth when he turns this age. Surprisingly this year he didn't remind me how today was the day Elvis died. Yet my father believes he is still alive or at the very least lived his life out to a respectful age behind closed doors and that it wasn't Elvis that made it big but his very own identical twin brother Arron.
Upon returning back to my own apartment I received a couple phone calls  from one of my older brothers. It was already planned not to eat today because my man's family invited us out to a local restaurant to celebrate several of their family birthdays all in one. I must admit soon after my man returned back home from work, three hours before due at the restaurant, we broke and split a bag of microwave popcorn.
Time soon came about where we got picked up by a friend and all the dinner party gathered over at my man's sisters house, then the restaurant. Only thing that would of made it better was if my children were there along side the rest of the 12 member party.
I got to meet my man's brother for the first time along with his wife and their two adorable little girls. Other than myself there was also my man, my man's sister, her husband and child, close friend and her husband and child. Many of pictures were taken by my man to remember this day. IT WAS A GOOD DAY!!!
