Stork award?

So I've gotten a few other blog awards from fellow IFers but not the Stork Award (could this be a good sign for tomorrow's FET?).  Thank you Sausha from Welcome to My Uterus for the love.

How it works:
1.  Add the avatar for the award in your blog post (done)
2.  Link to the blog that nominated you (check)
3.  Answer the ten questions given to you
4.  Nominate bloggers
5.  Ask your nominee's their ten questions
6.  Let your nominee's know they've been awarded
7.  Put the award icon on your side bar if so inclined (I'm not that crafty!)

Questions given to me....
1. What's your favorite curse word?  I would say that it's variation of fuck but I've learned over the years I say Shit more often and when about to be in a car accident that is what escapes my lips so I guess it's shit and it's variations (I use Shit-Ton alot).

2.  Do you have any tattoos?  Why yes.  I have a gecko on my hip named Buddy that I got as a 24 year old.

3.  Are you a morning person? Nope - I'm the type that hits snooze forever.  In fact I now have to have three alarms going off every two minutes in order to get up.  I've found if I only have one going off every five minutes I can keep sleeping until the alarm just gives up on me.

4.  What are three physical features you get complimented on a lot?  Hmmmm, my hair is what people at work compliment me on the most.  I'm told year ago (though I think it might be a lie) that I was runner up for "Best Smile" my senior year in HS.  And well, I guess eyes get third because saying boobs just sounds crass HA.

5.  What is your favorite holiday?  Christmas!  I looooove to give presents.  In fact I think sometimes I'm too hard on myself when I can't find the "perfect" gift, or if I think I found the perfect gift and the receiver's reaction isn't as over the top as I feel it should be (hehehe).   But seriously, I really do love to try and find something perfect for all my family members.

6.  What's your favorite animal?  I've been obsessed with penguins since 2nd grade.  I collect penguins for my christmas decor and love that in Fight Club that's his "power animal".  They became more "in" after March of the Penguins and Happy Feet so part of me likes they finally got the recognition they deserve and part of me is like "You joiners!  I've loved them for years!"  Yeah, I'm a nut.

7.  Do you have any pets.  Sadly no.  I'm a dog person and had dogs when I lived with my parents, my senior year in college my roommate Kimmy got us a dog, etc but when I was working sales I was just gone too much to have one and now with Jeff - - - he never had pets so I think it's something I have to convince him of.  I'd said "Once we have a house and kids" but it's four years into the marriage and no house because of paying for trying to have a kid.  We hope to have both in the next year but if one or both don't come true I still think in the next year or two I'll sway him (because he'll do almost anything to make me happy).

8.  What's one thing you'd really like to do before you die?  Tough one.  I used to want to skydive but somewhere after 30 I've become "meh" on that one.  I'd love to travel to Ireland or Italy but if I die without going it won't be the worst thing.  IDK...Too hard.  Maybe I'm just not the type to put that much pressure on myself.  I just want to be happy.  Not too much to ask right?

9.  What would be your first purchase if you won the lottery?  A house or a trip to vegas...depends on when I won it I guess (as I wouldn't want to go to Vegas in the summer months).

10.  Do you still wish upon stars?  Yes, OCD girl here when I was little (like 8 or 9?)  I made minor wishes on stars to see which came true and found my "luckiest star" was the one farthest to the left on Orion's Belt so I actually have only been wishing on that star for over two decades.  If I can't find it, I don' wish.  (Remember I said I'm a nut?  Yeah....the cray cray is strong in this one).
