2. I bought an espresso machine from Goodwill about a week ago for $15. They usually run $100+, so I thought I was getting an excellent deal. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that a few key parts were missing. Not to worry, I ordered replacement parts, which ended up costing as much as the machine.
But when the parts came, I realized why it was so cheap - the nozzle to steam the milk doesn't work. It still makes an awesome cup of espresso, though, so I'm not too upset.

3. Thank you to everyone who sent Valentines! They're very sweet. I love refreshing the page to see a new Note come in.

to you all!
4. Also, I hit 100k pageviews. I'm not really into pageviews, especially since I know I wouldn't have gotten them if I wasn't staff. But they are meaningful to me in that I'm honored that people are stopping by my page, hopefully for positive reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped me get this far!
