Homewrecker.

Yes, that's me. A homewrecker. I've told and told Prince William that it wouldn't work out, what with him being the blue-blooded 25-year-old heir to the British throne, and I'm a 36-year-old American midwestern lesbian. But he wouldn't take no for an answer, and now he's gone and dumped that nice girl he was seeing. Oh, did I lead him on? Now I know how Wallis Simpson felt.

Where are they now?

Things we are up to lately, in no particular order:

• Having inventory at work (Lisa today, Tricia next Saturday)
• Serving on jury duty (Tricia)
• Building a privacy fence in our back yard (both)
• Seeing a new reproductive endocrinologist for some aggressive fertility fun (both of us, but mostly Lisa, to be honest)
• Buying new glasses, being thankful for insurance, enduring the disapproving stares of salespersons at Lenscrafters because we don't wish to pay for non-glare, UV 8 million, superduper ultra-unbelievably-light bionic lenses, thanking our lucky stars we have at least some vision insurance, and enjoying our new specs (Tricia)
• Nervously joining a soccer league, afraid as we are out of shape, haven't played in two years and have never played co-ed (Tricia)

I think that's it, mostly. Aren't we exciting? Don't answer that.

Things that keep me awake at night.

I'd always thought the noun form of 'admonish' is 'admonition.' But lately, and I've been seeing it everywhere, like haunting, I see the word 'admonishment.' They both appear to be noun forms of the verb, but which is more correct? Admonishment sounds a lot like astonishment to me, and frankly almost a little made up, though clearly it is legit.

I think I will stick with 'admonition,' but I'm willing to be persuaded by anyone from the other camp with a compelling argument.

P.S. I Googled this little conundrum and found nothing--NOTHING!--relevant to my query as to which is more common, more preferable, etc. How often is it that Google is no help at all? Not very.
