What are the Odds
I have an upcoming girl’s adventure on the horizon, and it only seemed fitting to get a few new things to take on vacation. Since I am not a shopper by nature, I opted for the on-line variety. It all began a few months ago when I thought I would start the hunt early, in order to be prepared for my trip.
There are five gals going, as we all started shopping in preparation of blue waters and sunny skies ahead. One of the girls is a meeting planner by trade, and researches/books any additional excursions we take. She will send out updated itinerary information along with any comical happenings of her day.
One of the recent emails was describing how her and one of the other gals ended up ordering the same dress without knowing, only hers was in lovely shades of blue and the other ordered black. Hmmm….I thought, interesting since recently I had ordered two of the same dress, both a black and blue since I couldn’t decide; I’m a Gemini after all….LOL. The same day of the email, I came home to find a package waiting, and it indeed contained both the black and …..oh my gosh, lovely shades of blue dresses. It couldn’t be, could it?
Even though I realized, one of the girls and I regularly on-line shop at the same place, there’s no way we would have ordered the same dress with hundreds of options to choose from. In response to the email I wrote stating I too had order a black dress, and a lovely shades of blue dress. OMG…..no words after my friend described my dresses to a tee! We all laughed and laughed. How is that even possible? Yep, you guessed it, all three of us ordered the same dress!
One of the girls gave up her black dress and said she would save it for an upcoming event. So, it was down to two of us, and just recently the other girl gave me the all clear sign I could officially bring mine on the trip. She had found another dress she wanted to bring. Holy cow, score! Frankly, we could have worn them on different days, and no one would be the wiser.
This story has gotten a lot of miles, and plenty of laughter in my group of friends. It’s really hard to imagine that in all the dresses of the land, we could have chosen the same one. However, the story doesn’t quite end here……in another twist of fate, all three of us ordered the same pair of sandals……all in the same damn color! I ask you, what are the odds?
