The Walking Dead

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

My husband loves this show and I do too. It’s his go to show to put on.

As for me I use to love The Jeffersons, Threes Company, 227, Sanford & Sons, In Living Color, General Hospital, NYPD, SVU, and a bunch more. Today I prefer solitude between working a full time job, Running a Non-profit, being a digital creator, keeping up with my blog, subcontracting for a bunch of places, raising two kids and 6 cats and being a wife. There isn’t as much time to relax and enjoy TV

Lately TV is something I fall asleep to verses am able to stay up and watch. You should have seen me trying to stay up with my son Xavier to watch Octonauts the other night it was 9 pm and I could barely keep my eyes open. He kept saying, Mom are you sleeping again- I’d jump a mile each time- startled. Like oh junk!!

I do love TV when I have energy and time- but like I said that’s rare!

Thank you for reading my writing and I hope you’re enjoying a little glimpse into my brain and my thoughts.

Sincerely,

Tracie
