Burger Girl Could Have Met Snoop Dogg, But She Was Too Busy Updating Facebook….

Burger Girl, Firefly

The last day of Firefly is here (Thank God, cause I need to get back to writing about real stuff, LOL!) and Burger Girl could have met a celebrity, but alas, she blew her chance!  And she had a plan all worked out.  Not the most ingenious of plans…

This is the same celebrity Burger Girl had her brilliant Brady Bunch plan to get a picture with.  He apparently had something to say about the evacuation last night due to Tropical Storm Bill:

We have a strategy: When Snoop’s transport goes by behind our stand tonight I’m gonna lie down in the road to stop them and we’ll get him to roll the window down and take a selfie with us. Stay tuned.  Also, I may need bail money.

Sounds reasonable…so how did it go?

Guys, this is serious. I think Snoop snuck by me when I was making pretzels. Or refilling pickles. Heck, maybe it was when I was fixing that fence that fell down. The point is, I never got the chance to take a selfie with him!  Omg while I was typing that his van drove by. And I didn’t even get a picture because I was too busy updating Facebook.

But it appears she had, ahem, fun hearing him in concert….

Snoop just mixed up California Girls and I Love Rock and Roll. That was entertaining!  Of course, the secondhand smoke may be making it seem slightly more entertaining than it actually is. Hard to say.

Okay, we are going to end this very bizarre set of articles, unless something really exciting happens here.  Thank you Burger Girl for your interest viewpoints about Firefly.  I will have one more Firefly article coming up, but Burger Girl won’t be making an appearance (sorry B.G.)!

Happy Fathers Day To All The Dads Out There, Especially The Dads Of Special Needs Kids!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father’s Day from Exceptional Delaware!  Being a dad is one of the greatest things in the world.  None of us are perfect, and we have to learn stuff every day.  But it’s our job to help turn our kids into the best they can possibly be.  This is a tough job for any Dad, but more so for kids with special needs.  They need that extra love and support.

Also, a special nod to all the Dads who have supported opt-out over the last few months.  You know who you are, and I thank you for every email, Legislative Hall visit, Yes vote, and legislation you have written.  That battle isn’t over yet, but we are well on our way to a resolution!

Time To Email The Delaware House Of Representatives Again On House Bill 50, They Need To Opt Out of Saying NO!!!!

House Bill 50, Parent Opt-Out of the Smarter Balanced Assessment

The wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off of House Bill 50 continues.  After the Senate passed the bill and added two amendments, it’s going back to the House of Representatives.  While it seems like a slam dunk, the two amendments which add all state and district-wide assessments as well as allowing high school juniors to opt out could change the previous 36-3 vote in the House.  I think it will go through, but you never know.  This is Delaware!!

Here are the House Reps emails, once more, with feeling!

Burger Girl Survived The Storm, She Is A-Ok! #Firefly2015

Burger Girl, Firefly 2015

Miracle of miracles.  Burger Girl got out of the evacuation of 2015 safely, but we are all very concerned about one thing.  A commenter on my blog wrote the following:

I hope she remembered to turn off the grill.  Now I’m worried.

Yes, nothing raises the eyebrows more than thinking about 90,000 drunk and stoned festival attendees rushing from a huge field onto a bridge over a major highway.

We evacuated. People are still leaving. We are sitting in my car safe and sound. No worries! Thank you all for the love. Circuits are very overwhelmed with the large number of people trying to call loved ones.

Apparently Burger Girl and some other “campers” as she likes to call them (I call them “grillers”) were last seen wandering around the streets of Dover and wound up at… yes, another place with grills:

I brought my fellow campers to one of my favorite all-nite Dover places: Hollywood Diner.

You can take the grill away from the girl, but you can’t take the girl out of a grill.  But did she turn off the old one????

As the sun rises on a new day, and the already muddy Firefly turns into something that will be a lot of fun in pictures today, we must not forget what got us there in the first place.  Fathers.  If there were no fathers, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there.

Okay, shameless plug there.

I’m just glad Burger Girl thought of the important things as she was leaving:

On my way out I stopped to grab ice so we could chill our wine. This is what my friend texted me when i told her: “In the midst of a high risk evacuation massacre we know we can count on you!!! “

Ice.  Very important.  But did she turn off the grill?

She did manage to get some pictures before the grill abandonment last night:

I wonder how much cleansing she got last night.  Cause we know Burger Girl got to her car pretty fast, along with several campers.  She was drinking heavily (the wine) and went out to eat (Hollywood Diner).  We shall find out today as the story concludes on the last day of Firefly 2015.  And the mud will fly!  And who is the woman in green?  Another burger flipper or one of the friendly cashiers?
