in over our heads

My sweetheart and I have agreed to be in a television commercial for a 5 star hotel located in downtown Salt Lake. I thought we were agreeing to a short interview in a cozy orange couch at the studio. Not so.

The Call Sheet -
(just kill me now . . .)
9:45 shoot couple arriving at the hotel
10:45 shoot wife reading on the terrace by tulips
11:45 shoot couple enjoying themselves at the pool/hot tub
12:45 shoot wife at Spa enjoying facial
2:15 shoot couple enjoying room service, eating chocolate
3:30 shoot wife in bathroom getting ready for a night out
4:30 crew moves to couples home
6:00 shoot dad on couch talking about his wife
Shoot mother helping with home work
shoot mother preparing lunch
shoot mother getting ready for pinewood derby/lacrosse

When I questioned the the director about his client's sanity he said "They want to send the message that it's not only the rich and beautiful that can stay at their hotel."

So poor and unsightly = gorgeous people with a fabulous family life. I"m pretty sure I'd be alright with that category!

Ditto to Jen's comments! Are you guys signing autographs at the next reunion?

Timo said...

Is that a direct quote? Good grief! I sound a hearty "Amen" to Jenny's and Jessie's comments.

Enjoy your day at the pool, the spa, eating chocolate, lounging by the tulips. Sounds like a super fun day, even if it's pretend. You are rich and beautiful!!

I literally laughed out loud when I read that last paragraph! You are so funny! I can just see you guys in the comercial, it will be great! Let us know when it starts playing or for sure put up a link to it! You're gonna be famous!

So did a sibling rope you into this one? I just hope you're getting paid what the 'rich and beautiful' talent would get paid! At least your kids will have famous parents! Good luck...
