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

Best in Show Nominees (and my fave Super Bowl commercial)

6/3/12 Update: The video has been removed from the interwebs. Aaaaaaaw man! First up, I have to post this because:   1. I have watched it at least 30 times since last night and still laugh every time.   2. Some people seem to think it's "gross" and "not funny at all" (they clearly don't appreciate it and need to watch it again!)   3. The song has been stuck in my head all day.   4. By linking to it on LambAround, I will always know where to find it and will be able to watch it over and over, for years to come. Video Removed Gosh darn it! Wasn't that the best commercial you've ever seen? DORITOS! The creepy guy actually reminds me quite a bit of my brother. If my mom reads this, she'll probably insist I'm making fun of him, but I really think he'd agree. He's probably doing an impersonation of the Doritos guy right now! Now, on with the nominations for the Best in Show Award! Here are this weekend's Top 10: Be

Rachael Ray's Austin Mac 'n' Cheese Suiza

In our house, Sexy Nerd and I take turns making dinner each night. This works out really well for me for two reasons. One: how many guys do you know who agree to make dinner every other night? Two: Sexy Nerd is a much more patient cook than me. Recipes with lots of ingredients and steps, like Rachael Ray's Austin Mac 'n' Cheese Suiza never taste quite right when I make them. Mix this in one bowl, this in a second bowl, and this and this in a pan? Pfft! "Why not just combine everything directly into the pan?" I'll say. Luckily, Sexy Nerd is a real stickler for rules. It must be an engineer thing. If a recipe calls for onion salt and he only has regular salt, he won't make it. Thus, his cooking usually tastes really great! Do not eat the spoon. Oooh, or Kitchen Pig! Of course, after I wrote all that stuff above about Sexy Nerd never making any changes to a recipe, he pointed out that he used tomatoes instead of tomatillos. Shhh, Sexy Nerd! No

Tea for Three and Three for Tea!

I work for the best pediatric dentist in Albuquerque. As a Christmas present, my coworker and I decided to treat our beloved boss to an elegant tea luncheon. We thought this would be the perfect break from the chaos of screaming children (and their parents!) in her everyday life. (Ever wonder why I don't have kids? My job, my job, my job. Seriously, if they could figure out a way to market it, working in a pediatric dental office would be the best-selling, most effective birth control of all time. The kids are cute, but I'm ready for a break from them by the end of the day my lunch break 9:05 am.) I'm not at all crafty, so I was pretty pleased with how my tea party invitation turned out. The crown is a $0.75 wood accent from Michaels.   The St. James Tearoom in Albuquerque, NM is the perfect place for a girls' day. Where can I find a dog like this for my front patio? It's a much warmer welcome than what our rambunctious Jack Russell terrier, Pi
