Day to Relax

Today we did nothing.. this was the first weekend in a long time that we had no family and nothing to plan or buy. It was a very nice and relaxing day.

Harry's family made it home safe and sound.

The Dauz's Are Going Home

Today we got up at 5:30am and picked up the family around 6am and headed to LAX. It was a mad house and there were lines everywhere. Their flight was at 8:40am and after standing in line for an hour they finally got checked in and it was time to say goodbye. Everyone hugged their goodbyes but we knew it wasn't going to be forever. We might not be able to travel to Austria yet but everyone had such a great time that they'll be back.. even Harry's mom and she might be able to drag his dad along for the ride.

The hardest part of the goodbyes was when Harry's mom held his face and looked at him one last time, taking in every inch of it like she was committing it to memory. She cried, I cried it was very sad. Harry's sister Gerda gave Harry one of the longest hugs. We stood there and watched them line up for security and waved back and forth until we couldn’t' see them anymore.

We then headed back home, as I had to return their rental car and then go into work.

Harry's Family Returns

Today while I was at work Harry's sister Gerda, her fiancés Bernd and her son Leonhard returned from their northern travels. They took a few thousands photos and sounded like they had a great time. When I got home from work we took them all out for their final dinner, we went to Sizzler. From the sounds of it they had a great time up north and we talked about what we did with Zita during her stay down here with us. It was a nice dinner, sad that it was coming to an end but happy because they all seemed to really enjoy themselves on this trip. Tomorrow they head back to Austria.

Zita's First Burger

Today Harry's Mom Zita came with Harry and picked me up from work. We went to Denny's for dinner and Zita got her very first Burger. In all her 70 years she has never had a Burger. Since she doesn't eat meat we got her a Boca (veggie) burger and she loved it. She started asking Harry where she could get Hamburger Buns in Austria. It was really cool seeing how much she enjoyed it. It is always great watching her try new and different things. Her biggest compliment/complaint was that there was to many choices when going out to eat.

1st Annual Fu*k off Day

Well it's only my second day back at work.. but today is Original Productions 1st Annual Fu*k off day. The owner of the company I'm working for is taking everyone out to Paradise Cove for some fun in the sun. This was a mandatory work day, but who's going to complain about getting paid to hang out in Malibu on a private beach and get free food and drinks... not me.

First Day Back

Today I went back to work after being off for a little over two weeks. We are right in the middle of delivering our first two episodes and I have been getting reports on how crazy everything had been so when I got in today I expected chaos.. but it was actually a pretty calm day. Met some new AE's that were no working for me and tried to catch up on what happened the past two weeks... it kind of worries me on how calm it was today.. I know the sh*t will hit the fan soon.
