Spring! Rhubarb! Asparagus! Bee Butts! I learned recently that bumble bees are the top pollinator, so wiggle those butts!

But body wash smells so yummy!

I abhor body wash. Slimy, nasty stuff. We hates it.
Bee butts FTW!
I used body wash for years, but recently went back to soap. I now have soap that smells better than my body wash ever did, and it feel better, too. (Also, 100% agree with the not being able to stand the bottles on the top to get the last bits of body wash.)
Love the NASA – Star Wars tie-ins.
For the stages of the reader thing… I think I jumped straight from Stage 3 to Stage 8. I never had to rediscover books, for example, because I have never had a period of no books. (*shudder* O.O I can’t imagine that.)
It seems I’m Viola (Twelfth Night) — “Smart, strong and independent! Quite the hard-ass. But, you tend to make things more complicated than they are. You rely on yourself to solve your problems, but your weakness is soft boys.” LOL.
And I’m guessing from the photo that you’re trying to blame Miss May for the lack of reading this week… hmm. 😉
