Back from HPF '09 much refreshed yet tired and sore. Had a marvelous time. From what I hear, our first-timers had a great time too. The weather was gorgeous, in fact so gorgeous that I ended up going swimming almost every day. The fires were fan-freaking-tastic! In fact, the first fire of the fest ended up helping me re-meet someone and I got to have so much fun as a result! Goddess bless the fires.
There weren't as many classes, and much to my shame I didn't even make the ones I had planned to. Some of it was sheer lazy, and some of it was just swimming and fun all around. I was so proud of the DH, he had his own crew that he hung with and generally pursued his own agenda which left me free to pursue mine. Such sweetness!
In fact, I haven't had such fun since my first year there in terms of out late and partying until dawn, which I did on Sunday night, Monday morning. Whee! Worth every minute! ;-)
And I really wanted to NOT go next year? Now I'm completely conflicted, but am thinking extremely hard about GGG. September camping with just the girls? Hrm...sounds like amazing amounts of fun too! Plus? All that girl energy going around? Can haz?
I am super excited about all the people we met and ran into again. Can't wait to add new peeps to our friends lists...yay!
And also? Yeah. I was up and down the stairs a couple of times a day, walked all the damn time and didn't even notice most of it. Score one for being in probably the best shape of my adult life!
