One advantage to going to church on Saturday: staying in your pajamas until afternoon on Sunday.
Thanks to @startribune.com for writing about Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. We enjoyed some delicious cheese enchiladas for dinner last night!

Would someone please tell this lap dog it is 83 degrees out?
It is 10:28 a.m. on a Saturday, and I am still in my pajamas, and it feels GREAT.
