That was taken too. By then I was getting a little annoyed, so I said, "Well, all right" (and yes, I really do talk to my computer screen), "how about MyOwnIgloo?"
Thus, a globally challenged persona was born (scroll down to the bottom of my blog to see my trademark).
Her family is back East in Ohio, snowed in. They were planning on surprising her with a visit for her 40th birthday, but the weather had other ideas. So instead, they sent her a Birthday in a Box that we're all enjoying. (What a family, eh?)
Someone made her hat out of some of the cellophane wrapping paper from the box and a paper plate. (A propos of nothing, did you know that cellophane used to be a trademark? It lost its trademark status because too many people used it generically. Just like what happened to zipper and what will probably happen to Kleenex® tissues someday....)
She's holding the candles backwards on purpose, thinking maybe people will think she's 4.
Behaviorwise, I guess that's not far off.
She did her best Fosse imitation right after this picture was shot. It's a good thing she has a day job.
