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

Camp Blogaway Sneak Peek

I did it! Not only did I travel all the way to Camp Blogaway (ABQ to LAX) on my own, I did it with no major screw ups. I made my flights, remembered to pack everything I'd intended, and even socialized while there. That said, I'm absolutely exhausted! I got home a few minutes shy of midnight and went to work this morning, after preparing something for my boss's birthday potluck lunch. Of all days, right? I'm going to try to get some sleep tonight, starting at the laaaaaate hour of 8pm (7pm California time, so really, I'm extra pitiful.) For now, here are a few photos from my trip. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! You sleep in very close quarters! In the morning, I drank tea around the fireplace with Joy the Baker. I couldn't think of much to say to her because, in my mind, all I could hear was OMG, OMG! IT'S JOY THE BAKER, SITTING RIGHT THERE! EEEEEEEEE!!! Spuddy Buddy! Ready for more than just a sneak peek?

Link Up! Not Baaad Blog Hop

Good morning, everyone! I'm actually scheduling this post on Friday, as I head out the door (literally - I'm a major procrastinator) on my way to CAMP BLOGAWAY (woo hoo hoo!!) No time for any Best in Show nominees this week, but I have something big planned, so no worries. Instead, let's recap the top 3 posts from this week: #1 Post: Unique Baby Name #2 Post: Baby Madness? #3 Post: More Fun with Nuke All 3 posts are baby-related! Geez, let's hope Camp Blogaway can cure me of my baby fever. Maybe we just need to get a puppy. Sweet, puppy Nuke (a Jack Russell, obviously)(if you've owned one, you know exactly what I mean!) Now, let's get to blog hopping. THE RULES (so serious!) Please link directly to your post, not just your general blog, and include a post-related photo. You don't want to be the grump at the party who doesn't mingle, so please visit at least two other party guests and let them know you found them through LambAround. I saw a lot o

More Fun with Nuke

Remember Nuke the baby? ( Click here if you missed it )(Ooh, and click if you didn't read the comments! There are some hilarious ones!) Sadly, Sexy Nerd's nuclear weapon obsession doesn't end with our imaginary baby. What is it with guys and weapons? He came home from work the other day completely psyched up about the cool models he'd purchased. Carefully, he peeled back a layer of bubble wrap and displayed, quite proudly, what looked like a paper towel roll that someone had attached bits of paper to and spray painted silver (okay, maybe not quite like that, but pretty darn close!) "It's an actual model of a nuclear bomb," he exclaimed! Then, he unwrapped the other. He had actually purchased 2 of these bizarre stainless steel paperweights. Apparently, they were both different designs. They looked almost identical, at least close enough to make do with only 1 model, but Sexy Nerd says there are "big differences". "Don't get mad,&q

Irked at My Computer

My laptop is on life support. I've been getting a wacky message every time I turn it on (which is often, as it looooves to be restarted) saying that 'As an APP cannot run' (what the heck is that?!) and about once a minute my virus software pops up with a little announcement that it has blocked an intrusion attempt. Several system scans later, which all found no problems, I decided to dig out the CDs that came with my laptop 5 years ago. I'm back to the factory settings now, sans internet, and am writing this blog post from my computer at work. It's my lunch break. Really! And, of course, Sexy Nerd won't let me use his laptop since I broke mine.  Enjoy my Peeps the other day? Maybe this little punk took down my computer from the inside.
