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

Divorce Smorce. I Guess We'll Stay Together

If you missed my previous post, titled Does This Mean We're Divorced, click here . Sexy Nerd found a great deal on a Cobalt Chrome ring. We think it's a perfect replacement for his tungsten carbide wedding ring. Old Ring (OH NO!) Fabulous New Ring - oh yes, it's engraved! Danni + Derek =  Dsquared (Kitty Deschanel is my pen name.) Our wedding date, which was also our 4 year anniversary. A little reminder of the old ring Our original wording idea was "Don't Drop Me!"  I hear you saying aaaaw! over there.

YUCK! Sexy Nerd Has a New Hobby

Sexy Nerd has decided that he loves fishing. He gets up insanely early (4am!) on his days off and drives to the lake. He has been concerned about overdoing it. He doesn't want to turn into one of those husbands who is never around because he's always "gone fishing". Honestly, I don't mind one bit. He even caught a fish (which he said was too small, so he took a quick, humane photo of it, then threw it back - my kinda fisherman!) There is, however, one thing about his new hobby that irks me. Actually, irks may be too light of a word. It grosses me out ! I understand that the worms need to stay cool, I really do, but isn't there anywhere else they can go?? Lately, I have paid extra-close attention whenever taking a container of yogurt or butter out of the fridge!

Who's Up For Some Peacock Lovin'?

Sexy Nerd and I spent Friday morning at the Albuquerque Zoo* (you know, the one notorious for dismembered giraffes and break-ins by idiots ). There was a small group of women with their young children walking ahead of us when we crossed paths with a few peacocks. Hey baby. One woman began to explain to her children that the male peacock is the one with the beautiful feathers, which he uses to attract a mate. Normal enough. The other woman, however, jumped in very enthusiastically and said: "If I were a peacock, I'd just find that guy irresistible! Really, he's even turning me on as a human!"  At what age do kids begin to realize how embarrassing their parents are? Lookin' sexy, Mr. Peacock! *I should point out that, despite the negative links, Sexy Nerd and I love the zoo. We even joined their yearly pass program. You just can't beat the people-watching!

Sing A Ma Jigs. Really?

It's 3:49am and I can't sleep. What to do? Check out the Toys R Us Hot Toy List 2010, of course. What is the hot toy for 2010? Sadly, there are no Tamagotchis or Furbys this year. Instead, they predict that all the kids are going to want this: Behold: The Sing A Ma Jig I don't have kids so I know I'm not the ideal Sing A Ma Jig (Sing-a-ma-jig?) audience, and I probably shouldn't say this because it's a kid's toy, but really? Sing A Ma Jigs? Sing A Ma Jigs. It looks like a blow-up doll for stuffed animals. Am I the only one who thinks this?
