Enter The Best Friend Nemesis

(No this isn't really us)

Robin and I had known each other for a while.... and in my mind she was my best friend... in fact she was the bestest of best friends... so imagine my dismay when she called me and told me that her best friend was coming to visit.... yea.... WTF?

But... I composed myself. After all.... Robin and I had gone through a lot together, the bonds that we had created were strong, there was no way that this chic could even come close to being as awesome of a friend as I was... right?

Enter Crystal... Ugh... Crystal. Even her name was pretty. I walked into Robin's apartment with a full intention of keeping an open mind (and the upper hand) and when I was introduced to this adorable... skinny... blond.... I HATED HER! Then I found out that she had graduated college... AND I HATED HER MORE! Then I found out she was working on her masters degree... AND I HATED HER EVEN MORE!!!!!!!!! She was everything that I had wanted at one point.... and she was Robin's friend before I had ever met Robin.... and she was pretty.... and she was smart.... and well.... I was feeling like I was lacking in every department. The war was on....

I am not sure how Crystal felt when she first met me, I am not sure what Robin told her about me, and in all honesty I think Crystal and I have only seen each other in person a total of two.... maybe three times. But in my mind Robin was my best friend, and I was her best friend, and this bitch was going down. And so the rivalry for Robin's friendship status began.

I would love to say that there was an actual war, that there were snide comments, and that maybe there might have been some hair pulling..... but there wasn't. It was mainly just some trying to one-upping the other on facebook status's and a few very funny conversations. And then one day I accidentally posted a comment to Robin about starting a blog... on Crystal's fackbook page. And of course when Crystal found out about the blog idea.... well she just HAD to be apart of it as well. This perfect woman couldn't let me have ONE thing that was just me and Robin.

By the way... even as I am writing this, knowing that Crystal will be reading this, I feel horrible.

One night we were all on facebook and Crystal and I came to the conclusion that Robin was getting satisfaction that we were fighting over her affection. That she was getting herself a little ego boost. And at that point we decided that we weren't going to fight over Robin anymore, I told her that I would love for her perspective on my blog, and I actually enjoy talking to her.

The whole point of this blog is to make people realize that there are so many facets of life. Robin is a happily married woman with two children, she is trying to find the balance between being a woman, a wife, and a mother.
Crystal is a newly married woman who is learning how to be a wife.
Me.... a newly divorced woman trying to find the meaning in everything and trying to find a way to be happy.
