I love Chelsea Sampson! I got to work with her last night and it was soooo freaking fun! We were both really tired and didn't want to be working so of.course that led to a lot of really great, really hilarious, and really embarrassing moments...
We both tripped, fell, and got hurt several times.
We both ran into the door... Then I hit a kid with the door.
We made a Justin Bieber collage.
We Facebook stalked people.
Chels went to sleep.
She also shared the spiciest orange chicken known to man with me.
All in all it was an awesome awesome day at frogurt! JUST PAPPININ'!
Dos and Don'ts
Don't put yourself in a box. I can be on the cover of Maxim, I can be smart, I can be funny, I can be successful, and I can be a good wife and friend - that is all possible. I want you to like me, but I don't care if you don't.
Do speak your mind. If you think something's funny, go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty.
Do ignore the haters. You're going to have some backlash whenever you break the mold, so ignore it and do your own thing.
Don't believe that women aren't funny.
Do refuse to settle. Guys can say, "I want to put my career first." But if a woman says it, it's like she isn't maternal. I love my career right now, and I won't be with anybody until they make my life as satisfying and as happy as my work makes me.
Don't lie about your age. I think women should start to embrace their age. What's the alternative to getting older? You die. I can't change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy.
Minus the fact that we completely missed the band perry.. this was one of the better nights of my life. Nothing better than friends, family, and country music!
