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

Revlon Frost and Glow (Oops!)

Revlon Frost and Glow Alternate Title: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Grouch? AAARGH! You know those days when bad things simply pile up, one on top of the other?  I set our "away" message at work before the holiday weekend and realized this morning that I said we'd be back Monday instead of Tuesday, which is not the kind of mistake my boss tolerates well.  Also, I have a bug bite on a non-bug bite friendly area and it itches but can't be scratched without attracting crazy looks. I ironed. Me! Ironed! This is not an activity I ever, ever do. I needed a new black skirt and was super lucky to find a perfect, practically brand-new one at the thrift store. With so much free time on my hands, I decided to iron the skirt, despite having just a few teensie wrinkles. Remember, I do not iron, ever...and now my perfect skirt is ruined! I melted the fabric and now it has permanent iron marks, without me ever even wearing it. *Sigh* But worst of all... Darn you,

Start the Week with a Jack Russell Smile

I'm going to make you smile. Remember how I told you the other day that it's a challenge to walk Pica , our Jack Russell terrier, due to her constant desire to race crazily down the street? This weekend, I captured a photo that sums Pica up. Keep in mind that this was taken in the "action" setting of my Canon Rebel T1i camera, which claims to capture 3.4 photos per second. Photographing a dog *inside* the house should be no problem at all, right? Hind legs flying, ears flopping fun This photo makes me smile. I suspect it will have that effect until the next time I'm left running frantically and screaming as Pica darts into traffic, leash dangling behind her. "Look mom! Look at me! Take my photo! Mooooom!" I love Jack Russell terriers. Am I as crazy as my dog?

3...Make That 4...No, 5! Tidbits

1. The Not "Baaad" Linky Party will be up and running tonight, along with the nominees for the latest Best in Show award! 2. Did you see my comment from the Albuquerque Library (!) on the latest Sexy Nerd Quote of the Day post? I hope I didn't freak them out too badly by saying that they're a bunch of scammers. And you can bet I loved their book recommendation! 3. My Mushroom Kit Giveaway ends Monday. Time is running out if you haven't entered yet. 4. Yesterday's silly post, Funny Father's Day Gift Wrap Tutorial , is featured below my BlogHer ads today. Woo hoo! 5. What are your long weekend plans? We're going to make cherry ice cream and drink soda (I almost never buy soda!) I'm hoping there will be plenty of walks with the doggies too (we almost never walk them! To be fair, Pica tries to bolt every time I walk her, which I'm told is a common trait of Jack Russells.) That's all I've come up with for this weekend, so I'm
