Jamaican attitude
I've managed to hang onto that relaxed feeling from the cruise, which is pretty good for 3 days back home. (although last night while feeding the children dinner on my own (like I do every weekday night), Mark called and I said, let's go to the dining room, this is too hard!)Our tour guide in Jamaica got us talking the local talk--"ya mon, no mon" and "no problem." I even got a "Jamaica--No problem" t-shirt after I got soaked after swimming in a waterfall. But I was like, hey, when else will I swim in a waterfall ever, so why not. See, no problem!
Don't want to practice piano--no problem!
Dishes in the sink--no problem!
Must play trains right this second--no problem!
Piles of laundry--no problem!
Really, putting no problem at the end of anything you are stewing about really makes a huge difference.
We also stopped in Cozumel and Grand Cayman and the Bahamas. I learned no local vernacular there, just learned that there are lots of beautiful beaches.

Too funny - you're just like Michael from the office after the episode where he and Jan go to Jamaica! (If you don't watch the office, sorry as this will mean nothing to you).
