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

Not "Baaad" Sundays Blog Hop

Welcome back to another fabulous Not "Baaad" Sundays Linky Party! I'll be posting the nominees for the Best in Show award a little later on. Right now, I'm on my way to host a tea party! I found this adorable jeweled sticker in the clearance bin at Michaels. Perfect for the envelope!  I'm not thrilled with that icky greenish paper under the crown, but these things are going to happen when you're a procrastinator. I stuck everything together and ran off to work a minute late! And, yes, my original tea party had to be rescheduled. I like today better anyway - we're going to toast Annabel Violet Spohr's first birthday! Happy birthday, Annie! Now, in case you've forgotten, (can't blame you - it's been a looooong week!) there are 2 things that make my blog hop special: 1. This Linky is open to all posts that you are proud of. Did you recently post about a great decorating project, craft, or recipe? That's wonderful if you did, but ju

Hush Puppies - Right Way and Wrong Way

I found the recipe for these hush puppies here . I had half a can of creamed corn to use up, so I decided to make hush puppies. Just look at all that oil! While waiting for the first batch to finish cooking, I decided to take a photo of my recently organized pantry. By next week, when it's no longer neat and tidy, I'm really going to appreciate this photo! Why do we have so many cans of tomato soup?? After frying up 3 batches, here is all the oil that was left: That's right - absolutely none whatsoever! But that can't be right. Sexy Nerd and I didn't eat all that oil, did we? How much was in the pan to begin with? Come to think of it, I'd rather not know how much oil we started with. Feeling a little guilty and grossed out from frying up so many hush puppy sponges, I decided to experiment with cooking the rest of the batter like a giant, corny pancake. *This is not recommended if you want your hush puppies to taste like hush puppies!

Cheapskate

Sexy Nerd constantly harasses me about my thrifty ways. His case against me may have improved last night, when he was cutting a zucchini and this happened: He claims that he could have lost a finger and perhaps even have been killed. Maybe it was just an extra-tough zucchini? On a side note, has anyone seen any bargains on knives lately? I think we have plenty - an entire drawer full of ones just like this! - but I suspect Sexy Nerd is going to throw them out.
