The Feeney's Do It Again

My friends call Chrissy and I the Feeney's. This name originated in college because in the last 10 years Chrissy and I have been asked many, many times if we're sisters, cousins etc. Feeney is a combination of both of our last names. While, yes we're both tall, lean and have dark hair, beyond that we really don't LOOK alike The name has taken on a life of it's own and a lot of times we're simply referred to as one: The Feeney's. Chrissy and I spend a lot of time together because we share similar interests. At times these parallels become odd, such as we're both teaching Kindergarten and we were both Maids of Honors in our sister's weddings within this past year.

Let me fast forward to Christmas. My father and I went to Macy's because I wanted a new coat. I tried on a number of coats and had a hard time deciding between two. After much internal debate, I choose the coat seen below. The next day I was so content with my choice that I told my dad "I love my coat! I'm glad I went with this one."

Post Christmas I'm on the phone with Chrissy discussing our Christmas loot. Chrissy starts describing her new coat which she purchased at Macy's. I start asking questions until I finally ask the brand. When she replies, Marc New York I yell "Noooooo!" She has gotten the SAME EXACT COAT!! Honestly what are the chances?? It'd be one thing if it was a black coat but it's green for Pete's Sake!

So the insanity of our parallels continue and now people are REALLY going to think we look alike. I can't believe we got the same coat.
