The End of Sweater Vest Fest 2010...

Alas, we have reached the end, dear Reader. I know this is a week late, but to be honest I was trying to hold out hope that Julia had more vests.

For our last sweater post, I have 4 pictures. While viewing, please Reader don't shed any tears. I don't think I could bear it...I'm barely hanging on as it is.

On a completely different note, I took Chester to his first puppy training class this past week. The poor little guy was absolutely terrified. Luckily we were the only ones to show up, so the trainer spent an hour and a half training Chester one-on-one! He did a little bit better and warmed up to the scenery fairly well. Once we left the training room however he was like back to square one. Tomorrow I take him to Puppy Play Time! I can't wait to see him wee himself...it will be sad, but also adorable.

I was telling my co-workers about Chester's first session in the elevator at work today. I told them, "...for such a wild man at home, he was absolutely terrified there. She told me to take him to socialization classes!" A few men were riding with us and one said, "I sure hope you're not talking about your boyfriend!" We had a few laughs, I blushed and then quickly blurted out "OH gosh, no it's a puppy! I certainly hope I wouldn't have to train a boyfriend!" It was fun. Ah, yes, good times....

LAST PICTURES OF SWEATER VEST FEST 2010

Thanks to Julia for being such a great sport! Hopefully I can get Julia's husband to let me write about his pigeons...oh yes friends, he has pigeons. This might turn out to be the Julia and Ryan Blog....I wonder if they'll let me keep 'chicken' in the title....

You may delay, but time will not

Oh Benjamin Franklin, you old chesnut. How right you were about time. I delayed in posting yesterday and now it's Thursday. Oh well, it's a double sweater vest day!

I am very sad to report we only have one day left of Sweater Vest Fest 2010. Stop your quivering bottom lip, wipe those tears away. I will come up with something new!

Ending abruptly:

Yesterday:

Today:  

It's baaaaaaaaaaaack!

Have no fear followers - Sweater Vest Fest 2010 is back on! Today's vest is a great way to kick-off the second coming of sweater vest! I love Julia's color palette and her enthusiasm for picking this 14-day-sweater-vest-wearing-crusade back up after her Miami vacation.

With our two-week hiatus, I have to admit our photo "set" might not look exactly the same. So the phone may look off by a few inches or the lamp may be turned slightly. These are not the "spot-the-difference" points I'm looking for.

And while we are on the subject of wrong guesses, my best, most faithful follower, Rachel, is a) the only person to guess the differences and b) the only person to guess wrong (but also right) on 2 of the 9 pictures. To clarify: the post from March 23, Rachel guessed the phone cord as the change. Well yes, that was a change, but not the change. The answer I was looking for was the statue. Rachel still gets points because moments later she added the statue as another change.

The second mistake was from the March 30 post. On the 'today' picture Rachel guessed the flower pin Julia is wearing. While this was a change - I stated the changes would never have to do with what Julia is wearing. Therefore Rachel was wrong once again. The correct answer was the chair! Julia and I pulled a fast one on you Rachel! :)

All pointing-out-your-mistakes aside Rachel, thank you for being the most faithful follower of I Love Chicken. I really appreciate your support. You are my biggest cheerleader (in fact I picture you as Sandy from Grease except without the accent).

Sweater Vest Day 10: There are TWO (2) changes this week!

Hats off to Julia for being such a trooper!

Julia will be in Miami next week on vacation. I thought about making her continue the daily sweater vests then send me a picture, but let's be honest - it's way more fun to do this at work!

So because Easter is right around the corner, here is the Sweater Vest of the Day:
