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

Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Las Vegas

Sexy Nerd and I have been to Las Vegas together several times, but we didn't discover the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens until our last trip. It was decked out for Christmas when we were there. According to their website , it is currently decorated for Chinese New Year. It's definitely an attraction we'll seek out on future visits!  A giant polar bear is no big deal, you say? What if I told you that he's made out of white carnations? The reindeer are decorated with hundreds of acorns.

Alero Hates Tweety

Many years ago, Sexy Nerd and I took a little summer road trip to visit his family in Colorado. He was driving, I was sleeping, and all of a sudden we heard a * THUD! * It's not exactly the kind of sound you want to encounter when going 75mph, but nothing seemed to be wrong with the car and we didn't see anything in the rearview mirror. We continued down the road. It wasn't until we stopped for gas that we realized what had happened. Fair Warning: If you hated my favorite Super Bowl commercial , you're probably going to hate this.   For the record, I was not the one who attached the note! Sexy Nerd has a craaaazy family.

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
