Chatting with a celebrity… and nervous! … HELP!

Okay Complicated Mama’s…. I’m sending out an S.O.S here.

I have a skype chat in just a few hours (5 hours to be exact) with Animal Planet’s very own Jeff Corwin about his new “Lunch Roar and Score Sweepstakes” with Oscar Mayer… and I’m nervous.

You’ve all probably noticed that I don’t do much V-logging on here. Although, it’s something that I did add to my “things to work on in 2010″ list..when I added it, it also said in small print “with the ability to edit and retake 100 times over if necessary”.

However, live Skype chat… doesn’t allot for that. So I need to get over it.

Which I will. But I need your help.

I have this fear I am not going to have enough questions for the time alotted- OR worse… I will have a ton of questions- that will be completely LAME (“So Jeff would you call yourself an animal lover?”)

After my chat, I will come back here to give you all the scoop on the Lunchables sweepstakes, a fun giveaway here on the blog … and most importantly – let you know (& hopefully show) how my Skype call went so that you can either laugh at my expense or write into Oprah and tell her I need to be her replacement… but in the meantime–

Do you have any really great questions I can ask?

And as a side note— would it be TOTALLY Cheesalicious if I wore a Zebra print during the call?

That is exciting. Unfortunately, I am coming up blank with questions too. But I can't wait to see how well it goes, which it will!

How about how to help a parent with a fear of certain animals NOT pass that fear on to the kids? (i.e. fear of snakes, spiders, bugs, bats . . .)

P.S. That was me - So Not Mom-a-licious. i just felt like using my name today.

I'd go with zebra or cow print. It's a little bolder. Can you ask him if he knows a good bug guy...gotta get rid of these scorpions. You should also ask him if he's ever seen a unicorn. And does he plan on using a stunt double when they film the sting ray show. No? Too mean? Too soon?

LMAO Oh Janah ! you slay me. :)

Like I said in Twitter - I have an animal lover here. Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin are his biggest influences. (Since he was a baby) I am really not kidding! So what he would like to know is what do you study in school to be able to work with animals like Jeff does? How can he get exposed to opportunities that will let him do that type of thing as a pre-teen, teen and on and on?

Also - we need to know his funniest moment with an animal EVER. And his NOT SO FUNNIEST MOMENT with an animal. :)

Wish we could be there with you - you are going to be wonderful! (Zebra? BTW? Noooooo....)

Complicated Mama

LOL... Fine! No zebra!

Thanks for the questions... will definitely use them and give you a shout out!

how about asking him how he handles the situation when he just can't get the animal to behave the way he needs him too adn what was his most uncomfortable moment while working with animals. Good luck, I know you will do great - I have a feeling one day I will say I knew you when.
