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

The Overachiever

Sexy Nerd has enrolled in a second Master's degree program. All I have is my measly Bachelors. This isn't the overachiever part though. He's going to get a jump start on his new degree by taking classes this summer instead of waiting for the fall semester. Nope. That's not all. His first class is online. Sexy Nerd got a hold of his syllabus a week before class began. He completed and submitted his first assignment, which was a long essay. Class hasn't even started and he has already turned in his first homework assignment! It was fun for him. I love you, Sexy Nerd, but classmates like you used to really annoy me! It's a good thing his class is online. Sexy Nerd is totally that guy who raises his hand with a question right after the teacher says they're going to let everyone out early.

BLOG HOP! Link Up Your Posts

Finally, right? I'd love to say that this delayed blog hop posting is due to a case of The Weekend Lazies, but I've actually been quite busy (you know, according to my typical weekend standards). Still planning that Arizona road trip. Not sure when we're going. Also planning a much longer (though not nearly long enough) trip to visit my family in Australia! My cheapness is making these travel plans really, really hard. Now, we're off to see The Lorax in 3D, while it's still playing at the $1 movie theater. Deep down, Sexy Nerd and I are just big kids. Kids with old, responsible souls.

Not "Baaad" Sundays Blog Hop

Good morning, bloggy friends! We should be blog hopping within just a couple of hours. In the meantime, Sexy Nerd and I are enjoying our day with chili dogs and chocolate Oreo ice cream, which we just picked up on our morning bike ride. It's a super weekend! We're in the midst of planning a road trip from Albuquerque to the Grand Canyon, then down through Phoenix and Tucson before looping back up home. If anyone knows of any great places to stop along our route, please share!

Biker Superstar, Take Two

Since writing my last bike post , in which attempting to ride just about killed me, I have become a bike riding pro. Okay, maybe not a pro in the eyes of actual bike riders, but I did recently pass an obese rider who looked impressed. Sexy Nerd and I took our bikes out this morning and are so fitness minded that we even passed up the opportunity to buy ice cream when we stopped at the grocery store. Even though it would have fit nicely in my super-stylish basket: The Kent La Jolla Women's Cruiser Bike Ain't She a Beaut', Clark? Yeah, that's a big lie. The entire reason for stopping was to buy ice cream. I just cheaped out. Did you know that Dryer's has replaced their tiny ice cream cartons (which I'm pretty sure they slyly downsized to get more money for less product not too long ago) with new, 1/2 gallon cartons? They want $7.99 for them! WTF?! Dryer's has clearly gone bat crap crazy, along with anyone who would fork over that wacky amount. It al
