I'd just like to note how unprepared I was for the rainy weather on the Mississippi Gulf Coast this weekend (despite the constant coverage of Tropical Storm Lee on the Weather Channel). I was quite proud of my light packing-- one small suitcase that did not include a rain jacket or galoshes- now I'm thinking packing light is overrated.

Rain, rain, and more rain turns out to be perfect for manis, pedis, and massages.... and much needed visits with family and friends.
