PIRATE DAY!!

Ahoy me wee Junipers!
Today was Talk Like a Pirate Day!
I can't believe I almost missed it!   
Thank goodness I was wearing me trusty anchor earrings!


Pirate
I seriously LOVE Pirates!  I'm not sure where this love began but it has been around for a long time!  Something about their scraggly beards, shoulder parrots, and amazing wardrobe screams WE ARE AWESOME!

As a partner at Starbucks I proudly consider myself a Starbuccaneer and when I get a little too tired near the end of my shift, you know just when the caffeine is starting to wear off, I start to respond to requests with "Arrr..."

This Bizarro cartoon hangs on my wall and makes me laugh EVERY time I see it.

If I were a pirate I would try to have a pet octopus... or maybe this should be my tattoo?

Finally I created a fantastic Etsy treasury list of all things good and Piratey...  HERE

I think I will go read Cressida Cowell's 'How to Train Your Dragon' and maybe drink some rum?  HAPPY PIRATE DAY TO YE ALL!!

ARRRRRRrrrrrrrTTFN

  2. My love of RUM leads me to believe my ancestors were Pirates. I totally get Jack Sparrow when he tells Barbosa regarding his rum-filled peg leg, "I WANT one of those"....

    CHEERS to PIRATES!
