It’s funny how a nickname can commence.
The Captain.
I’m sure my parent’s hearts burst with pride knowing that I’ve obtained a substitute moniker that refers to my favorite rum, Captain Morgan.
The spicy love of my life – other than Ted, of course.
I’m not sure the exact moment I fell head over heels for Captain but when the mix of this piquant rum and Diet Coke crossed my lips for the first time, the love of a Skinny Pirate was born and I’ve had one in hand almost ever since.
Documenting my liquid affection.
You see, Skinny Pirates are just the perfect accompaniment to any life situation…
Sneaky sneak time movie fun.
Keeping me cool in the sun.
Cheering me through Iowa Hawkeyes game days like it’s my religion.
Creating Griswold family style traditions.
Quenching my thirst after work outs.
Putting the ho in my down at country shows.
Following me from fancy places…
…. to low class spaces.
Even when I try to cheat, Captain just can’t be beat.
Easily swallowed through a sippy cup.
Skinny Pirates also help loosen the holidays up.
No hands needed to drink this libation.
And my Captain keeps me sparkling on every occassion.
There when I celebrate small life successes.
An inspiration for making Mani Mondays a bit excessive.
Always keeping me company at the bar.
So what if my main squeeze comes from a glass jar?
As you can see, my favorite libation is never far from my reach and Captain is suitable in addressing me.
In fashion with Captain.
As my favorite pirate says, “To live, love and loot!”
You’d better cheers with me or this Captain will give you the boot.

You and the Captain make it happen. Boom.
That rum is actually really tasty, but I do not drink a lot of Skinny Pirates, -when it comes to coke, I’m all in (i.e. I’m a regular, not diet, coke drinker):)
I hear you! I’m typically a regular Coke drinker but when I started drinking Captain, regular Cokes were too sweet. And the Skinny Pirate was born…
Your hair is so long and glam!
I’m trying to be the next Crystal Gayle. 🙂
I used Captain Morgan Spiced Rum in my Fire Tongue Punch shenanigans….pretty tasty!! Greetings from South Africa!!
WHAT?! I love a Fire Tongue Punch shenanigan! Safe travels to you and Nina, my friend.
Lol, I will send you an invite next time around!! And thanks, almost on our way to Italy.
Please invite me for the next round and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE drink some wine for me in Italy!
You and the Captain do make a very handsome pair. 🙂
Why thank you so much! It’s hard keeping up with such a rugged pirate!
Did you bedazzle the Captain?
Love the sparkly French mani by the by. Your poetic license is far from expired my friend!!
The bedazzled Captain was a birthday gift from a friend…and one of my most treasured possessions (after Johnny Cash picture and Ted of course).
NC isn’t making the list I can’t help but notice…
Seriously fab present!!!!!!
Well, NC is getting higher and higher on the list every day. He’s like the ‘oops’ kid that folks are surprised with at 46 years of age. And, he’s annoying! But he’s mine. All mine.
No pirates were injured in the making of this blog post. 🙂
Nope! No pirates. Just my liver!
I think now you may may have a skinny liver, my friend.
I think you are exactly right…
got to have that shirt, where’d ya get it?
Forever 21, thankfully. Because I’d have bought even if it was Prada.
thanks, there’s one close by, I’ll check it out!
Got a little Captain in ya?
Just a teensy, tiny bit….
Lots of great moments and there’s still so much you need to do together. Maybe some Captain on top of your pancakes or a replacement for soya sauce.
Hey Mr. Johnson now you’re talking! I am going to start with your suggestions this weekend. Pancakes first.
