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

Monster Jam in Albuquerque

I managed to avoid this for almost 27 years. Finally, someone has been sly enough to drag me to a monster truck show. Darn you, Sexy Nerd! Warning, ladies. Monster Jam tours the country. They were just here in Albuquerque a few months ago and will be back again soon. Monster Jam may very well be coming to your town next. Don't get suckered into going like a certain blogger you know. If you hear a commercial that starts with "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" you need to spring into action and change the channel, pronto. Meh. What's more exciting than a bunch of elephant-dwarfing, room-shakingly loud trucks racing each other? Oh, just a little thing called the Tingley Colosseum concessions stands. Albuquerque-style Frybread and Navajo tacos in hand, it was time for the monster trucks: Vroooom! Monster Jam: The Destroyer Although the trucks weren't exactly my thing, I did love that Sexy Nerd had such a fun time. Monster Jam:

Jumping On The Year-End Review Bandwagon

Happy New Year! Sexy Nerd and I will be celebrating at the zoo. Yeah, we're fun and dorky like that. Sitting here trying to eat my toast ( yeowch !) it seems like an ideal time to look back on 2011. Let's see... I stepped outside (waaay outside) my comfort zone and attended Camp Blogaway . It's not something I would do again, but I'm impressed with my shy self for going. We bought 13 acres in the mountains for our future dream home ! Sexy Nerd and I became an uncle and aunt... fear of babies be darned. We traveled to Santa Fe (does this still count when you live in Albuquerque?) and San Francisco . Hmmm...what else? Pica resolved to act smarter in 2011. It didn't stick.  I showed you my pale, hairy leg. Here at LambAround, being classy is #1. As for 2012, I'm hoping we'll finally make it to Australia to sight see and visit my family. Sexy Nerd and I have been together 8 years and he still hasn't met my Papa! Craziness. Will we have a baby

Braces - 3 Weeks In (50+ To Go!)

My teeth are loose - a very unnerving quality as an adult. You always wanted an up close and personal view of my funky teeth, right? Despite having the nicest orthodontist in Albuquerque, there's no denying that braces suck ! Oh, my poor teeth are killing me. Teenage Me , who swore she would never get braces, is very upset with Grown Up Me! She was right all along. Seriously, everyone told me that my teeth would hurt for the first few days but then be fine. It has been 3 loooong weeks and my teeth are just as sore as when my braces were put on. Sexy Nerd says I'm a wimp. My boss, the pediatric dentist, says I really shouldn't expect to or try to eat anything solid, like a sandwich (!) until the braces come off and that a liquid diet would be best. I would probably lose a ton of weight over the next year...but chocolate cake, ice cream, and pudding are all so wonderfully soft!
