On my bucket list... by Hannah

Hannah (from The New Black) is a lovely blogger that lives in Seattle, USA. Today she will be sharing a few things from her bucket list. Enjoy...
1. Really be able to play the piano - I grew up playing the piano but stopped in my mid teens. Sadly, most of my talent stayed back there as well. I have an amazing keyboard that is doing nothing but collecting dust. I want to get back on it and find my love for playing again...then I'll get a baby grand!

2. Complete a marathon - I know, this is so cliche, but it's a definite for me. I used to be a runner and I'm working my way back up to doing it again. My man wants to do this too, so it's something great we can train for and accomplish together.

3. Travel Europe - I am not one to do the whole backpacking through Europe thing, but I'd love to take a month or two off from the States and explore Europe while staying in some decent hotels. And not just visit the regular, touristy places. All the amazing places off the beaten path too.

4. Have pin up pictures taken - I think the idea of boudoir pictures is fun, but I really like the idea of pin up pictures. I think it would be fun not only to take, but to have to look back on as the years pass {and do those silly aging things to my body}, plus they would make a great gift for the man in my life!

5. Swim with dolphins - I've swam with other sea creatures before, but dolphins are on the top of my list. I think I like that they are so interactive and it just seems like it would be such a thrilling thing to do...as long as I don't end up on When Animals Attack!

6. Become fluent in another language {or two} - I took Spanish from grades 3-10 so I have a pretty good grasp on the language, but only if I am reading or if the speaking is on the slow side. I'd love to be able to engage in conversation with someone without asking them to slow down or only picking up every seventh word. And since Spanish and Italian have so many similarities, I might as well tackle Italian as well. I have Rosetta Stone for both languages, I just need to take the time to listen to them.

7. Learn to ballroom dance - I'd love to be one of those gals that can be at a gala, wedding, or whatever event and twirl on the dance floor without looking like a total spaz. It's also a fun way to exercise and it'd be a great way to get close and have fun with my partner.

  4. It's one of my dreams to be able to dance beautifully with TSC (I did ballroom and Latin for years and he is a sokkie master, but when you throw us together, all we can do is a weird shuffle). One day, when money allows, I hope to coax him into salsa lessons!

  6. Have to agree about the pin up thing. Also a few months ago I started training for my first half-marathon. Not sure if I'll ever run a full marathon though.

  7. What a pretty collage! I definitely want to swim with dolphins at least once, learn another language, & learn how to ballroom dance! What a fun list! I hope she does the stuff! =)

  9. Awesome list... I would love to be able to play the piano too. I had a few weird things I added to my bucket list the other day. Doing something someday that requires me to have my own security detail (this was inspired by Justice Scalia from the Supreme Court showing up at my law school) and have a portrait of myself commissioned. Odd, I know.
