My Favorite Christmas Present


for Christmas this year my boyfriend surprised me with a puppy, & she is the cutest little thing - ever .. her name is frankie =) & the reason why i choose her to have that name is because i think it is really cute when little girls have boy names [besides, she is a major tomboy anyway lol] .. she is a two pound bundle of joy, that we have for a little over a month now .. she is really small & will stay small, which is indeed a plus in my book .. she is just precious & i really grew to love her from the first second i saw her .. now that i think back to last month, i realize even more how nice it was being off with her all day .. however, she had me getting up pretty early - because i am in the process of training her & she is even learning how to wake me up when she has to go outside [when she does not wake me up - i have to make sure i get up to let her go] .. frankie is really smart, but she is only four months old - so since she is just a baby it is going to take her some time to learn everything she has to .. she is really adorable, but is a ton of work - & now that i am back in college, it gets even harder .. i have to wake up earlier on schooldays - because i have to feed her, let her outside, as well as play a little before i leave for school .. i have another dog who is a yorkie, & her name is allie [she is eight years old] .. they are both finally learning how to behave together, which is a major plus .. when my boyfriend first gave her to me - my other dog was just not having it .. i felt really bad because i did not want allie to think we replaced her with frankie - but thankfully, she is finally getting used to the little one being around .. frankie is definitely worth the work & is my favorite Christmas present that i ever received .. due to the fact that she keeps me quite busy, i will keep my blog updated on what is new with her as time goes on .. ciao *

My Very First Blog

hello - my name is alyssa & this will be my online journal =) .. although i am very new to this whole "blog" website, i believe it will be very cool to write in & maintain throughout the spring 08 semester .. as one can see - my blog name is "A Fine Mess", which sarcastically describes myself; as well as my insanely busy - yet, fun filled life .. right now, i have many things to do for my classes & i am really tired so i am going to finish setting this up & then get cracking on my endless amounts of reading .. ciao *
