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

Our 4 and 8 Anniversary

It's crazy to think that Sexy Nerd and I had our first date 8 years ago. Things were so different back then. (Click the image to enlarge) And has it already been 4 years since we got married? Really? I wonder if I'll look back another 8 years from now and be amazed at how much things have changed. By then we will hopefully have our home in the mountains and Baby Nuke . I'm hoping Pica and Biscuit will still be here (though I'm realistic that our punk Pica will probably run down the street one day, never to be seen again). If all goes according to plan, we will each have a new vehicle by then (a Prius C for me and "something sporty" for him) and will have traveled to Australia and cruised so many times. Sexy Nerd will have his Ph.D. I suppose I'll call him Dr. Sexy Nerd. Life can change so much from year to year. Based on the past 8, I think we're in for some pretty wonderful times.

Dogs Wearing Earmuffs!

Oh, the cuteness! Sorry, Pica and Biscuit. We couldn't resist! Pica was a pretty good sport about this. We're cheap frugal and keep our house at a toasty 50F. She probably wishes she could wear earmuffs all the time! Biscuit only put up with this for a few seconds, just long enough to capture her annoyed photo. Some dogs just can't pull off the earmuff look.

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
