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

Stupid Work Story

This is my job. I answered the phone on Monday and an angry man yelled at me, demanding to know the phone number of our collection agency. I told him. Angry Man: I have a business and my number is just a digit off from that! All day, every day, people call saying F-this and F-that and it's all because the numbers are so close! Awkward Silence Me, as sweetly as possible (which I've found really annoys people like this): Well, unfortunately, I can't think of any way to stop people from dialing the wrong phone number. More Awkwardness Angry Man, no longer angry: I appreciate your time, ma'am. I don't have a photo from work, but I think my Monster Jam expression sums up my thoughts on this quite nicely.

Blond! Blond! Blond! Hair Color

Remember the other day, when I accidentally (well, technically Sexy Nerd accidentally) dyed my hair gray ? I couldn't go around as a 27-year-old with white, X-Men highlights, so I made an appointment to have my hair color corrected. I've toyed around with the idea of going from brunette to blond many times, as well as the notion of adding bangs. As long as I was paying for a fancy pants hair salon, why not just do both? Presenting Kitty Deschanel, the blond siren! Hubba, hubba, right? Who's fancy? I am! Yeah, I think I'm pretty hot stuff right now. I do have one very important bit of brunette to blond hair dying info for you though... ... ... ... ... GOTCHA! Why would I dye my hair blond when everyone knows brunettes rule?  For Halloween this year, I'm going to use this wig to dress up as my friend Marie, who has the exact same hair.  Now, let's have more fun with that blond wig!

Box Turns Itself Off and Rolls Away

I don't post many videos on my blog, but this one is just that good. There is a downside to this funny clip though. Sexy Nerd is determined to make one of these stupid things! *Sigh* P.S. I'm trying to blog while eating chips and nacho cheese. Oh, and dancing around to Mariah Carey (So Cold and After Tonight on repeat). Yes, the combination has resulted in a good amount of cheese on the floor. That's what dogs are for.
