This is the last cartoon I'm doing for awhile!

Cartoon #6 - Pregnancy Hormones

http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/cartoons/cartoon27

This one actually happened to me. I cried during the Alberton's commercial where the lady ignored her cell phone for the first time that day to talk to her daughter at dinnertime. Greg couldn't help himself - he laughed right out loud! He got me laughing too.

Bean is a Kicker

For the last few weeks Ilene has been feeling an unusual fluttering that we suspected could be Bean moving around. Well, today I was resting my hand on her tummy and I felt a little bump. Ilene and I agree...Bean is kicking now. It's really strange. I mean, we've gone out and bought ourselves a bunch of baby stuff and all, but now it really seems real!

New Cell Phone

Because Cingular doesn't have coverage in Vernal (!) and because we moved to Vernal for Greg's new job (Naples city planner), we had to get new phones!

So yesterday Greg and I went to Alltel in the Walmart in Vernal and chose phones. Right when we got home, I got started on figuring out how to design my new phone.

The one on the right is my old Cingular phone, and the one on the left is my new Alltel (I may have went a little overboard!).

I had a blast designing and sticking the stickers on! Do you like?

Cartoon #5 - Baby Kicks

This cartoon particularly applies to me and Greg today. Greg had his hand on little Bean (my stomach) and I noticed that I was feeling a slight bumping sensation, right where Greg's hand was.

Greg felt it too, and we agree that our Bean is beginning to kick! It's slowly dawning on me that we are really going to have a baby!

Cartoon #3 - Diaper Service

Cartoon #2 - Castaway Games

This cartoon I did in 2001. I'm not sure if it was my original idea. Probably not!

Cartoon #1 - Toddler Trainer

I love to draw cartoons. But I have a hard time coming up with anything funny to draw. So I searched online for ones I thought were funny, and I changed them a bit to make them my own (sort of). To see the original cartoon, I have posted the link for it. Enjoy!

In Need of a Nickname

I started my new job yesterday (hooray!). So far, I've only run into one real problem...

My boss's name is Craig Blunt. My name is Greg Platt. So far, it's not a big deal, but pretty soon people will be coming into the office, or calling into the office, looking for me. And other people are still going to be calling and coming in for Craig. The vocalized parts of our names are identical, and so, unless people are very clear about whether they're forming a G or a C and a B or a P, the office staff is going to have a very hard time knowing which of us is being sought.

So, since I'm the new guy, it's easier for people to call me by something different than to try to learn to call Craig something. Thus, I'm in need of a new name or nickname that I can go by at work...

Please, your suggestions would be very useful!!!
