kitties galore!

I am boycotting the term "crazy cat lady." while I am crazy, and I do have tons of cats, I wouldn't necessarily call myself a "lady." in fact, I think I'm the farthest thing from a lady. I fart out loud, I burp, I cuss like a sailor, and most of all... I really don't edit my behavior for anyone. 

so... crazy cat lady WOMAN it is. I mentioned in a post a while ago that I took the plunge and bought my first SLR camera - the Canon Rebel XS. I'm absolutely infatuated with this machine, and I take it with me everywhere I go, cause you never know when a good picture will present itself. 

but let's face it... most of the time, I'm at home chasing my cats with this big ass camera around my neck trying to get the best pictures of them. I mean honestly, that's how it is around here. well I finally looked hard enough to find the computer/camera cord that I, of course, had already misplaced... and I've uploaded the 300 pictures I've already taken with the new beaut.

I'm going to do a couple posts with pictures of certain events, but I couldn't start this out without pictures of my babies. they don't call me a crazy cat woman for nothin'. 

hint: click on the pictures to view them in a larger format. I'm trying to figure out how to post large photos on my blog without having them cut off by the right hand column... anyone have tips for a newbie?

and for good measure, proof that Bear is a Daddy's boy (don't mind my topless husband):

PS - please keep in mind that I just started taking pictures with a professional camera, and I'm still trying to figure everything out. I'm going to attempt the 12 Weeks To Better Photography program along with Kaley next week, so hopefully, we'll both be pros at the end of it! I'll post more about that later! :) 

also, I've only got 10 days left until the Mister and I are off to the beach for a week, and I absolutely CANNOT wait. I need a vacation sooo badly right now! 

Happy Tuesday!
