~ Que Sera, Sera ~

by Tina~in_ut



for Mary & Jennifer



One of the "perks" of hanging out with Kgrl was getting to meet Sunway, a local singer in Hawaii. Jr and I went to see her sing while on vacation and one of her friends, Markus Striegl, got up to sing. This is the same guy that Mary and Jennifer have been drooling over on Kgrl's facebook page~


Markus is from Germany. He has a great sense of humor. He's quick, smart, and has the coolest highlights in his hair~ He gave me a couple of his CD's and I've been listening to them this week. One is in German and the other in English. I really like the German songs....even if I have no idea what he's saying. I'm going to have to have hubby translate for me.



Markus really reminds me of Keith Urban. Kgrl told him this, but I don't think he has any idea what a compliment that is......I LOVE Keith Urban. Jr even commented on his mannerisms when he sings.....just like Keith~


I hope you like this song and, if you would like to hear more, you can find Markus on Facebook, Myspace, or his website.

No way it is a Tina blog and I got first! Amazing! Did you stay up way to late stealing from my Island?????

Lynn D said...

Okay I am booking a flight to Hawaii soon! Yum! Tina love the picture of you and Jr.

I knew Jennifer and Carol were drooling over this guy and now I see why. I will be restrained for a Ho and say he is very sexy!

Lynn D said...

Scrishy I am so excited to hear you are moving to the left er I mean west coast! Fantasic.

Sacbarb how far is Oceanside from Sac? May have to plan another trip so we can go see the Scrishster.

I saw you were all talking about H1N1 yesterday and the next town over had over 100 kids out of school with it last week.

My daughter has been working the flu clinics here, she works in Pediatrics and says it is def. an outbreak in our area.

She had her boys immunized last week as they had two children from their practice end up in Seattles Childrens Hospital with it. They now have Pancriatitis (sp). Scared the crap out of her.

It seems to hit the kids hard and anyone with a compromised immune system. Last I heard there have been over a 1,000 deaths caused by it. So I think we should all take it seriously. She yelled at me last week when I did not feel well and told me to stay home.

Mine was a stomach flu as the regular flu is running rampant too. Today is the first day that it does not feel like my bowels are having one hell of a rave.

Maureen said...

Good morning LYNN!

Grats on 1st. I'm glad you're feeling better. I think we have had the same thing. I am still feeling weak and tired, but at least I don't have to try and sprint to the bathroom anymore. I do now have a bit of a runny nose and a little cough, but I think it is just the common cold.

As of Friday, there are 3 confirmed cases of H1N1 in our office and quite a few others out and not confirmed. I was supposed to have gotten my seasonal flu shot last Monday, but couldn't because I was already ill. I am going to try this week.

Lynn D said...

Hellooooo is anyone out there? Were you all farming and stealing from my Island last night? Wakey Wakey my little Flakies!

Ok it was the only word I could think of that rhymed with Wakey.

Do you feel that? Nope not an earthquake just me jumping up and down on your bed!

Maureen said...

TINA...yes, Markus is def a hottie! And I totally see the likeness to Keith Urban. Ohhh la la!

That is a great pic of the three of you. You look so thin...how much wt. have you lost??

Lynn D said...

Morning MO! Yes this bug is the shits isn't it?

Glad you are feeling better. Muwaaaah!

Lynn D said...

Must go read the news.

Maureen said...

LYNN...I wasn't stealing from your farm or island. I don't farm or farkle or anything like that!! I think it was probably DIANNE stealing from you...she's like that, ya know!!

Maureen said...

My cousin is having a lunch today for all the Oct birthdays in the family, so I have to try and paint on a face and a fake smile and go over there. I really want to stay under the blankies with a good book, but it ain't gonna happen.

Lynn D said...

Mo I would say have fun but I know how you feel. Can you get away with wearing sweats?

Yes It was Dianne but I think that maybe an alias!

Maureen said...

LYNN...sweats would be fine if I had some that were clean! I will def be dressing comfy. I am only going to paint on the face so as not to scare anyone or make them lose their appetite! It is a B-day lunch not a scary Hallows lunch!

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

Happy 1

Tina...

Love, Love this blog.. Love this song he sings it so well.. I listened to it twice.. also love the pic..

night.owls.sb said...

I gotta run.. off to a wedding shower..

Hope everyone has a great day!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Waving @ ya Mo! :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

Nope not me.. I did not even know who markus was.. I droll over James Gandolfini type..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

and of course George..

:O)

Lynn D said...

Just wanted to pop in and say, this video was way better than the one where Tina gave us all crabs.

Have fun at your shower Carol! James Gandolfini, really? LOL

Mo comfy is good. I say scare'em. It's family they can take anything.

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

tina~ great blog and song. I was already 'turned on' to Markus from kgirl and have listened to him sing. Awesome. Not hard to look at either.

Lynn and Mo I am glad you are both feeling better (at least to a point. Got my flu shot last month, waiting for the swine flu shot. Hope I don't get anything that is remotely related to the flue-no mater what kind! ick

Had a fabulous night at the concert. Daughtry is awesome and I can't believe how many age groups were there. I was especially impressed with the grandparents who took thier tweens to see him.

The sun is shining, so I am going to enjoy it. They said it would be raining and crappy today- so not sure why the sun is shining but not going to complain.

Goodmorning to you too Carol!

whabbear said...

James Gandolfini could have his way with me any time! Yum!

I was "all ears", as they say, when my friend Ron, who is a massage therapist for downtown San Francisco hotels, described how he gave Gandolfini a message last year.

Sadly, there was no hanky-panky! :(

Good Morning - I am about to sit down to a lovely Sunday brunch. I will be back this afternoon. I can't wait to hear that song.

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Congrats Lynn!

Markus is gorgeous! As I listened to him (twice) I picked up a mix of Tom Petty, Jon BJ, and Steven Tyler.

Markus, you have a lovely, unique voice!

My brother and his family live in Germany, I will ask them if they know of you.

Bear and Carol I like the "big guy" type too. If I were a gay man I would def. be into bears. hee hee.

Goldie glad you had fun last night! I like Daughtery too!

MO feel better soon... boy have we seen lots and lots of sick people the last couple weeks at work.

I worked in the flu clinic Tues and Weds and I've never seen it so busy. Thurs. night when I left work, the line for flu shots was out the door and wrapped around the building (they stay open until 7 to give shots).

Carol have fun at the shower, I love wedding and baby showers!

Tinka, enjoy brunch!

It's laundry day so I'll be checking back. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

bonachichi said...

Happy Sunday, Hooters! Tina, you travel on purpose more than anyone I know!

I am very surprised (and humbled) by the seriousness of H1N1. Here I am thinking it's a media circus and there are people who are seriously ill. What a putz!

I hope everyone here is healthy. If we have to be sick, let it be a cold or even one of those 24 hour bugs.

whabbear said...

LOL! Judy, straight bears outnumber gay bears by about 10 to 1!

Just_Lin said...

LynnD Congrats on #1! No wonder you all are on FB all the time, if you've got people stealing from you if you aren't there to guard your stuff.

MO Glad you are feeling better. I hope you have a nice time at lunch.

Carol I totally get that. Gandolfini has a lot of testosterone and is a bit dangerous. I never was attracted to the boyish type.

Goldie It sounds like you had a great time last night. Enjoy your sunshine. We've got some of that, too.

Bear At least Ron had a close encounter to remember. :)

Tinka Good morning and congrats on 25.

EBJ I've got some laundry calling my name, too. Hope you have a nice day off.

Bonach Waving a wing at you. Are you having a sunshiney day today, too?

DeeDee said...

Good morning......ladies....

First of all....why was he in Hawaii touching the granddaughter I never had in a bar?

Second....he reminded me of Keith Urban too until I looked at ALL the pictures on his website. The hair is similar....but I wouldn't know about the performance having seen neither of them "do their thang"...

You can tell by his website that this guy is no lounge act....he and his group have an impressive tour schedule in Europe. Its exciting to meet people like that.....maybe when you take Hiawatha to Amsterdam you guys can hook up....it appears that Hamburg is his base of operations......

and third....is he a homosexual and if not does he like older woman?

Regarding the recent pilfering in Island Paradise. I am glad I took the high road at the beginning of the game.....and is it really fair to people like Dianne....who is just beginning....to have her island stripped to the sand and her crops yanked up by the roots?

I rest my case.

East Bay J said...

Bear, I think I'm married to a straight bear!

JL it is sunny and gorgeous here today, I have the sliding door open. Poe loves it (the sliding door is right next to his cage), he can see and talk to his "birdy friends".

Yesterday was about 80 here I think, hard to believe it's the end of Oct. We've had the sprinklers shut off for 2 weeks, we need a little more rain so we can leave them off!

Tinkatia said...

Listened to the song. Loved it. He is pretty cute too. I am rushing off and won't be back until tonight. Have a great day. Sorry I don't have time to read comments. I will tomorrow. Have a great Sunday everyone.

Just_Lin said...

Tina Thank you for the vid today. I love that pic of you, Markus and Jr. What a great memory you are making with the kid.

Just_Lin said...

EBJ It really is beautiful today. When I took the birdfeeder out to hang it in a tree, there were 3 squirrels waiting for me. The birds are lucky if they get a turn!

Lynn D said...

Popping in while waiting for my pumpkins to get ripe. Before they get taken. Then it off to the grossry store. Ironic ain't it?

PS DeeDee I have not stolen from Dianne yet, so I don't know who took the Hoover to her island.

East Bay J said...

Dianne, I just read your comment to Bear on Face Book about your Halloween costume.

If I remember right, when going to the Lone Star, you should wear large overalls, with nothing on underneath!

Also, the red stilettos with overalls will be stunning!

I posted this the other day on the blog but I think you must have missed it!

East Bay J said...

JL we have a trio of quail that roam the neighborhood. Once in a while they come into our yard and poke around.

I saw them back there a little earlier, they are so cute! I couldn't get my camera fast enough, unfortunately.

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Good afternoon Lynn D and congrats on 1st!

Good afternoon Maureen, Carol, Goldie, Whabbear, Tinka, EBJ, Bonachichi, Just Lin and DeeDee!

Tina, Markus sings this song a little different than Doris Day, and he is way better to look at too!! Thanks for sharing!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

We had mum's 70th birthday party today. It went quite well. I think she enjoyed herself. My avatar picture is one taken today of me and my sisters. I really like it. Each of us had our picture taken with mum. I think it's the only picture of her and I there is, so it will definately be something I will hold onto.

Zona said...

G'Afternoon Everyone!

TINA: I really liked Markus' voice..and his unique lyrics for this song. I've listened to it three times and like it more with every play. I agree with you and Jr that he has a Keith Urban vibe going on. Such great smiles in the picture too..could you all have been any happier at that moment? Great video today TINA, thank you.

bonachichi said...

Shirley, how wonderful to make memories.

I had a visit from the police today and for once, I wasn't in trouble.

bonachichi said...

Oh Tina, I just actually listened to that song. I love what he did with it!

I've come to learn that Kgrl has a lot of "ins" with entertainers. What an amazing and exciting life she lives out there, in paradise.

Zona said...

LYNND: Congrats on FIRST! I think TINA was up late stealing from MY island..but what's a few limes, lemons and papayas among friends? Just don't touch my llamas.. ;)

MO!!: I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. Don't overdo it today..get some rest when you get home.. :)

CAROL: I hope you're having a good time at the wedding shower..

TINKA: Have a wonderful day! :D

GOLDIE: Sounds like you had fun after the concert too..ijs.. ;)

BEAR: What was the message? :I....:D

J/LIN: We are going to be in the 70's this week..finally..wheeee!! :D

EBJ: Everyone at Mr Z's workplace is sick..we're trying to hold off the inevitable..

DEEDEE: You sent one of the best emails about that Island..'help me..I'm gonna drown if I don't get some neighbors..' I nearly fell off the chair..priceless..Oh..and steal away..it'll grow back.. ;)

EBJ: Your comment about Poe has "let's all sing like the birdies sing..tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet.." going round and round in my head.. ;)

SHIRLEY: I'm glad your mum's party went well..what a great pic!

BONACHI: You had a visit from the police? Hope everything is ok!

J/LIN2: C'mon..don't you want your own island..and farm..? ;)

Zona said...

CAROL: Sorry I missed your blog yesterday. When I was taking care of my mom she would tell me the same stories of her childhood over and over again..I never let on..eventhough I knew the story by heart. I would love to hear her tell me just once more about walking a mile to the school bus in four feet of snow..lol. You are an incredibly patient caregiver and loving daughter to your parents..I know how frustrating it can be at times. Hang in there.

As for me, I never remember names..a typical discussion with my sister sounds something like this.."Did you see that movie..it had..oh you know that guy..the one that was in that movie with what's her name..the blonde from that show on Thursdays..remember..the show that used to star that guy that was in that other movie..the one that won the award..you know him..he was married to that girl with dark hair..she was drunk at that awards show..c'mon you know who I mean..." it can go round and round like that..until my sister says..."Just google it!".. ;)

bonachichi said...

Zona, I find it mildly entertaining that you can know so much trivia about a person, yet not remember their name. I think it happens to all of us.

As for the police, they wanted to know about the dog attack yesterday. A group of people saw it and called some authority. I guess the owner is in a lot of trouble over it.

Lynn D said...

Shirley that is a great picture! Treasure that always.

Zona I like to fuss and tease but I don't really care if they pilfer something....well except Tina! Shhhhh

Thought I was feeling better, but took a shower and had a dizzy and nausea spell. WTF If this does not go away in the next day or so I am headed off to the doctor. I hate going to the doctor.

Bonachichi I am glad someone called the police. That dog could potentially really hurt not just another animal but another human or a small child.

goldie said...

could it be?

goldie said...

I get

goldie said...

50!

goldie said...

wonderful picture Shirley- glad your Mum enjoyed it and you were able to get those pics.

Lynn, so sorry you are still feeling crappy.

J/L your assumption of after the concert was right on.. :)

Tina~in_ut said...

LynnD~ congrats on first~ and yes.....i was up til 5am....FARMING and STEALING!!!!!

Mo~ I love you to pieces....17~

Carol~ hope your shower was fun~ are you stealing right now? I left you some stuff~

Goldie~ shhhhh....don't let on that he's cute! It'll go straight to his head~ :)~ ....details about the concert please~

Bear~ I call you a whore..and you tell me ur a ho! I call you a ho....and ya don't like that either! but guess what? UR A HO WHORE~ :D

Tinka~ hope ur brunch was nice and glad you liked the song~

EBJ~ glad you liked it too...and it's my laundry day, too~ :(

Bonachichi~ I'll GD travel if I want to GD travel! :)~

DeeDee~ behave young lady! (cough!) Markus likes his women 40!~ (and not a day or 34 yrs older!) and by God...Dianne doesn't have an island!!!!!!~

J/L~ yes....Jr is having fun and loves to travel~

Shirley~ I agree....way better than Doris~

Zona~ I didn't steal from you.....but not from lack of trying~

I had this list of things to get done today and hubby got a flat tire...so while he took the kids to a play at school, I got to go to costco to get the tire fixed! I was going to make dinner and everything....so now costco is making it! I don't know why I even plan~

bonachichi said...

LynnD; what's the deal with you not feeling well? You're like the Energizer Bunny of the nest! If you can be taken out, there's not much hope for the rest of us.

bonachichi said...

Tina; As someone who travels NOT on purpose, but for work, I admire someone who does travel on purpose. You even get to fly in real planes. I usually just get a slight upgrade from Magic Carpet.

Bebbilane said...

So weird, I thought I posted a hello this morning and it isn't here. I wonder what happened. Oh well,...

Congrats on first LynnD

Nice video Tina, I finally watched it. Earlier I said I would have to watch it later because I was heading over to help my son at his house.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday.

Just_Lin said...

Shirley That's a great picture of you and your sisters! Which one forgot to come over last night?

LynnD Somehow, waiting for your pumpkins to get ripe just sounds sort of pornish. LOL

Zona 70's? Yay! Finally, weather fit for humans. ;)

Just_Lin said...

Tina I'm glad you had pilots that actually paid attention to where it was they were supposed to land.

sacBarb said...

Happy Sunday Owls.

Tina, I love this version of this song. Markus has a lot of charisma in addition to a great voice. He certainly is a cutie too. Thanks for introducing him to those of us who didn't know of him.

DeeDee said...

Dianne does too have an island! I was on it today!

Her character on the island looked like she had been thru a hurricane!

Whoever helped her with that should be whipped.....rags for clothes and stringy hair....I was shocked when I saw her!!

Lynn D said...

DeeDee I think she was ravaged by Tina and Shirley's dogs! They are on the loose!

Tina~in_ut said...

woman! I HATE YOU!!!!! omg...lmbo...ur a whore, DeeDee!!!~

LynnD~ i only have 1 person left...and I know who it is...will have to email her~

Glad you liked it sacky~ (i like to call you that!)

Bebbi~ i had a feeling you were around earlier!~ :)~

J/L~ I would have questioned the FA's if my flight went further than it was supposed to. Once, on my way to Orange County, we took a slightly different route and it totally threw me! I was paranoid the whole way~

Bonachichi~ what's a magic carpet ride like?

Ahhhhhh....I needed that...BADLY!

Dianne/Denver said...

I find it interesting that you are all talking about my island and I don't have one. Farmville and Farmtown is more than I can handle. I don't have any hours left in a day to do an island...soooooo, that brings me to my next tidbit of information....there is only one person that I know that has my password to go on my farm. Remember when I had farms and I didn't farm (in the old days) Well, this time I don't have an island but it sounds like those that think I do are sure being mean to me and also making me look a wreck. DEEDEE: Is there anything you can do to help me out with this situation?

EBJ: Ok, I think I have my costume down...hairy chest, overalls (with noting under them) and red stilettos. I wonder if any of you will recognize me at the party. I think BEAR might be the only one that will no it's me.

MO: Nice that you are telling everyone that I steal. Now this is going to make you feel worse....I sent you a Birthday card and just go it back in the mail as no such person. I verified the address with ZONA and I have it right. Is there somewhere else I should send it? See how sweet I was being while you were announcing to the world that I steal? Shame on you!!

LYNN, DEEDEE, ZONA AND EVERYONE ELSE....look that person over just a little bit more that is stealing from your island while I am still trying to "level up " on FT.

Any reported scores of football teams today? My Broncos were on a bye and I was at a family party so didn't see other games. How did the (gulp)Raiders do today?

TINA: I loved the blog. This song used to be a song my dad and I really liked although the words were a little different. It was great to hear it again...thanks for posting and sharing.

night.owls.sb said...

Yay..

Mo took 69 and ran with it! whoo yhoo!

night.owls.sb said...

WTF is "yhoo" LOL

night.owls.sb said...

So Dianne..

What are you sayin, "someone" is stealing your entire island?

Hmmm I wonder who that could be Hmmm

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

Total yep! James Gandolfini :O)

Mo..

Glad you felt well enough to venture out into the real world.. sure hope the crappies go away soon.. Well actually you marching to 69, means to me you are on your way!

night.owls.sb said...

Zona...

I know it is frustrating, but I am certainly lucky to have both my parents.. So lucky, that each day I am reminded of it when they both drive me crazy..

and

You forgetting names.. "who played in this" and "who said that" I do that all the time.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Goldie..
So glad the concert was great.. It but have been tons of fun

Shirley..
Love the pic with your family! Perfect, and love that you choose black and white..

night.owls.sb said...

Let me rephase that..

"it must have been tons of fun"

There thats better...

night.owls.sb said...

Waving madly at everyone..

I am off to bed..

Nite!

Tina~in_ut said...

Hi Di~ :D I think DeeDee should take you to Neiman's for a little shopping trip~ :)~

Goodnight Carol~

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Just Lin in the picture there is Robin, me and Marilyn. Robin is the one that didn't show up.

Dianne/Denver said...

SHIRLEY: That is a really nice picture of you and your sisters. Now I hope you take another one for the Owl party on Saturday in your costume. what will it be?

TINA: Great idea. DEEDEE talking me shopping and to the salon since I look like a hurricane hit me. It is a good thing I am not too sensitive! :)

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Dianne this is my costume. What do you think?

Dianne/Denver said...

SHIRLEY: I think it is lovely. I like the green cast to it. You have never looked more spiffy!

Just_Lin said...

Today, I probably spent an hour stretching fake spider web stuff around the entryway to my front door. A real spider probably could have done it in 15 minutes. LOL

sacBarb said...

Lynn, Congrats on #1 today. It's about time you decided to go to the doc.

Oceanside is about a 7-8 hours drive from Sac. It is between L.A. and San Diego. I'm up for a road trip to meet scrishy, if she wants to meet us.

Mary/MI said...

OMG I had to pick today to be late!!
Tina I am mad at you for not letting me know! Bad Tina, Bad Tina!!
He made my heart skip a beat! Where's the defib.!!
I haven't even read the comments yet lol!! Who cares? lol JK :)
OK I think I am under control now...
On a good note, it is after 3 am, I will def. have sweet,wet dreams '''''

Jodi said...

TINA - Great video!! I agree that he looks somewhat like Keith Urban, but I won't tell him....;) And I luv the pic of you and jr. !! I hope your package makes you smile....it was made with love!!!

Waving a wing @ the rest of the HOoters!!

Just_Lin said...
