This week the Self Portrait Challenge is to introduce yourself. A great challenge since not only am I a new blogger but new to the Self Portrait community as well. Since we're just getting to know each other I'll try to keep this light. Don't want to scare you off just yet. :)
My name is Tylene. My mom named me after a young actress in an Elvis Presley movie. I've never met anyone else with my name so I like to think I'm the only Tylene. ;P I'm married to a great guy that keeps me moving. Literally! Soon we'll be expats in Belgium. In ways I love the gypsy lifestyle. Experiencing different places and meeting new people is exciting but it can be a bit lonely as well. Living like a gypsy makes you appreciate your family & friends so much more.
Music is a big part of my life. It has a way of completely lifting my spirits and bringing me back to my childhood. Memories like my Mom blasting Gladys Knight & the Pips and Barry White while she did housework or family parties where everyone danced to El Gran Combo come flooding into my mind. For me a house without music is like a house that isn't lived in. Needless to say not a day goes by that I don't listen to my favorite tunes.
A few more tidbits about me...
When I lived in NYC, my crazy friends & I would make believe we were priests and we'd give each other communion using Wacky Wafers on the front steps of our church during recess. Not sure what possessed us to do this but you've got to admit it was a creative way to share our candy.
I completely love to scrapbook, eat Trader Joes Chocolate Covered Sunflower seeds, and smell black coffee even though I'm not a coffee drinker. A cup of decaf tea can keep me up till 3:00am.
