\u2026 Look. I\u2019m writing about something that has nothing to do with dieting. Be amazed. <\/p>\n

So here\u2019s a happy story about a woman who prayed to St. Ann and got herself a man.<\/a> Not just any man\u2026<\/p>\n

a Swiss Guard. <\/p>\n

You want to call me obsessive about anything, call me obsessive about the Guardia Svizzera Pontificia<\/a>. Sigh. So molto bello. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s not to love? Handsome, single, manly, and Catholic. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy for the soon-to-bride. No, really I am. I love that you all have sent me links about this news story. So. Many. Links. And look, she prayed to St. Ann, just like me. And it worked for her. That\u2019s fantastic. So wonderful. What a beautiful story. <\/p>\n

Can\u2019t you see I\u2019m brimming with absolute joy. <\/p>\n
