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

The Shoes with the Ugly Gold Buckles

 I'll be wearing my fancy "new" shoes to work today. Before: Damn you, Gold Buckle!  Hmmm, which to choose? Unbuckled (You're enjoying the narrative, right?)     Ugly on the back After:  Sparkly on the front! Ta da! Like Dorothy, only pink and with some self control. That weird little string is still inside the shoes. Does anyone know what that's for? Taken last night. You do all your blogging in your pajamas too. Admit it. Side note: Aren't fuzzy slipper socks the greatest?  Geez! Next to Pica, my size 8.5 feet look freakishly small. Did I ever tell you that she is supposed to be a miniature Jack Russell? I guess Pica didn't get the memo. I'm not sure whether the girls at work are going to like my sparkly shoes or make fun of me. I think my shoes look fun!

Make That 6 Winners (and Some Ramblings!)

Good news for someone who didn't win my Mini Chicken Cheeseburgers giveaway - one of the winners has reported back that she lives too far from a Safeway to use her coupon. Just when you thought your luck had run out, right? And the new randomly selected winner is... Lisa from The Pursuit of Happiness ! This means 4 out of the 5 coupons have been accepted (though, I suppose I'm back down to 3 out of 5 if Lisa can't use it!) Fingers crossed if you didn't win. Lucky entrant #5 has just 2 more days to contact me. Chop, chop, winner #5! Do people say "Chop, chop" anymore? Did they ever? Sexy Nerd insists that this is just an Australian thing and noone here in the U.S. ever has any idea what I'm talking about. My mum says it. She always has (she? The cat's mother?) Okay, even I'm not quite sure I get that last one.

Fair (and Funny!) Warning to All the Sexy Nerds at Christmas

Sexy Nerd has an especially tricky time staying out of the doghouse - I don't want any jewelery!
