What I'm Currently Watching

by Christina

If you're anything like me, you tend to get a little lazy on a work night when it comes to picking what to watch.  You get home from work and plan to get some chores done and watch the latest summer drama, but instead end up in your sweatpants watching a marathon of Real Housewives.  To give you a little help, here are some of the newer shows and TV movies I've watched lately:
