Amerisleep AS3 Reviews

  My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service    Amerisleep Mattress Reviews  We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia  (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f

Easy Coleslaw Recipe for People Who Hate Coleslaw

You know how some coleslaw recipes are too goopy or too dry or too "blah"? My Sexy Nerd used to insist he hated all coleslaw...until he tried this. Not too goopy or too dry or too blah? Check! Thanks to food blogger Reeni, whose Honey Lime Dressing recipe inspired this. It helped jazz up my usual coleslaw recipe with tangy sweetness. The shredded coconut and pumpkin seeds elevate it above the coleslaw slop you get from KFC. Not that their coleslaw slop isn't tasty (actually, SN insists it is not at all tasty), but we're going the homemade (with love!) route with this coleslaw recipe. Easy Coleslaw Recipe for People Who Hate Coleslaw Ingredients: 1/3 C Miracle Whip or mayonnaise 1/3 C sour cream or plain yogurt 1 Tbsp honey 1 Tbsp brown mustard 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp lime juice 1/3 of a green cabbage, shredded 1/3 of a red cabbage, shredded 1 large carrot, shredded 1 celery stalk, diced 1/4 C shredded coconut, toasted 1/4 C pum

When You Are Engulfed In Flames

When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris is my new favorite book. So far, here are my favorite excerpts: "Once someone sent a cake to my room, and rather than call downstairs and ask for silverware I cut it with my credit card and ate the pieces with my fingers." ""I mean, why not give someone a blowjob?" the driver said. "It's just a penis, right? Probably no worse for you than smoking."" Awesome.

I Love This Mug

Someone, I have no idea who, gave me this mug for my birthday when I was in elementary school. Although I wasn't exactly thrilled to receive it (after all, you can't play with a mug), today it is one of my favorite possessions. I'd love to buy a set of mugs like this, but so far I haven't been able to find any others. Even eBay hasn't been able to help! The teabag, by the way, is there because I have been coffeeless for a little over a week. I'm giving it up in hope of sleeping better. No caffeine = how to sleep better, right? Instead, I have been having two cups of decaf green tea for breakfast and a cup of "Nighty Night" tea after dinner. I've tried this coffee fast before and it never actually improves my sleep. However, I'd like to think that all the green tea is at least boosting my immune system. Maybe it will even improve my memory. I'll memorize the locations of all 50 states once and for all!

Embarrassing Moments Are Kinda My Thing

I'm writing this post from home during my lunch break. Why would I willingly drive 20 minutes home, then 20 minutes back to work during my 1 hour lunch break, especially considering that there is leftover pizza waiting for me in the break room fridge? Why am I home now? Because, silly, silly me, did not notice when getting ready this morning that my POLKA DOT UNDERWEAR was clearly visible beneath my sheer dress . Classy!
