Where did I go?  Well, nowhere.  But I did read 2 books and my house is a wreck &#8212; the boys and man have been fed and are wearing clean clothes, however, so don&#8217;t assume the worst.  First, I read <a href=\"http:\/\/search.barnesandnoble.com\/booksearch\/isbnInquiry.asp?ISBN=1594489424&#038;z=y\">Grace, Eventually<\/a>, by Anne Lamott.  This is the first book that I&#8217;ve read by her.  I think that I&#8217;ll definitely check out some of her other ones, now.  Then, I read <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Atonement_(novel)\">Atonement<\/a>, by Ian McEwan.  Mainly, I read this because one of my friends recommended it to me when I asked her about it.  And, the reason I asked her about it is that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0783233\/\">movie<\/a> based on the book is coming out sometime this fall.  If it gets decent ratings, I&#8217;ll probably go see it.  Finally, I&#8217;ve just started <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Moonstone\">Moonstone<\/a>, by Wilkie Collins.  This is supposedly the definitive British detective\/mystery novel.  But, I won&#8217;t be speed reading it because I&#8217;ll be trying to figure it out, also, I&#8217;ve got some stuff to straighten up around here.  <\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ve been.  On another note, Jon just acquired a free way COOL chair that I&#8217;ll be reupholstering really soon and I promise, promise that I&#8217;m going to blog my progress step-by-step.  It might be complicated &#8212; so that might be interesting.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Slacker Mom Has Been Reading Again I took sort of a mini-vacation this week.
