January 8, 2012 As I sit here in the beginning of January surfing the web, I'm thinking two things as I come across the news that Beyonce's baby was born. First: Why on earth is it still 40 degrees outside and secondly, I'm thinking about how Beyonce's poor baby has to call herself Blue Ivy for the rest of her life.
