bug
i found this guy while watering out back. it was hiding in the grass. i have no idea what it is. any guesses? it's about an inch long and hairier than i've seen most bugs. it looks like a wasp and an ant mated. oh and when i had it in a glass jar i could hear it talking! it was making all kindsa noise. kinda creepy. those giant mandibles (not pictured) didn't make it any less creepy either.
i had my annual physical this morning. my doctor found a lump in my right breast. she is 100% certain that it's a (benign) fibroid cyst but she's going to schedule an ultra sound to get a better look at it. i was fine leaving the office. fine having a quick breakfast. fine telling the hubby on the phone. but when i was driving to the pharmacy on base, i had a brief moment of "omg what if i have only 1 boob" panic.
i'm over it now but i'll still call her on Monday and see if she's got me scheduled when i come home from Boston.
if nothing else, this might finally get me to do self exams....... maybe......
hooray for Friday!
**edit**
i did a lil research (typed in "big red and black ant like bug" into google) and found out that this is a velvet ant or cow killer ant. it's not really an ant at all, but is actually a wasp.
