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

Valentine's Day FAIL

I'm afraid that I'm the recipient of this year's FAIL award. Remember how Sexy Nerd scored so many points with his Valentine's Day surprise ? I hadn't realized there was more to come. Look what was waiting for me when I opened my car door! Maybe GM could try this tactic to sell more Chevy Volts.   Awww! I love that crazy redneck of mine, Nascar addiction and all. (And Moonshiners.) (And Swamp Loggers.) (And Duck Dynasty, which I'll admit isn't terrible.) I wanted to do something equally nice for Sexy Nerd, but I'd waited too long to plan anything. I pondered what he might like while driving across town to my orthodontist appointment, which was to recement a broken bracket. By the way, it is easy peasy to get a last-minute orthodontist appointment on Valentine's Day. It's extra sucky though because you sit there getting your teeth tortured, thinking "so this is how I'm spending Valentine's Day".   Also,

Sexy Nerd, the Valentine's Day Ninja

This morning, I was startled awake by the sound of Pica and Biscuit barking. They bark at everyone, including us, but at just after 7am, I should have been home alone. Sexy Nerd would have been at work for almost an hour by then and our dogs normally sleep until I get up. Panic? You betcha! I bolted out of bed and double checked that the bedroom door was locked (because, you know, those little twisty doorknob locks would really slow someone down.) I heard the garage door open, then close, and the dogs were silent. For a moment, I wondered if maybe it had been Sexy Nerd. Could he have gone into work late because he was setting up some grand Valentine's Day surprise? Today is our 10th Valentine's Day together, after all. Based on previous Valentine's Days though (unromantic Valentine's Day here and here ), it seemed unlikely. I crept cautiously down the stairs. Pica and Biscuit were asleep. Nothing looked out of place. I couldn't see any romantic Valentine&

Addicted to Realtor.com

Although it will probably be several years before we build a house on our 13 acres of mountain awesomeness , my eyes are always on the lookout for home ideas. This may have lead to me spending a few (only 6 or so) hours on Realtor.com yesterday. If you follow LambAround on Pinterest , you might have noticed a flood of home decor pins from me, many with the generic description "Find this home on realtor.com", as I was in too big of a hurry to pin the next photo to be bothered writing anything. As the point of this browsing was to find inspiration for our future dream home, it would make a lot of sense to search within the price range we'll be building in. The multimillion dollar homes just look so much better though! Here are some of my favorite photos: How can I duplicate this within our HOA's 2 story building limit? Also, how can I make this San Francisco home not look out of place in the mountains? That's silly. It would look adorable in the moun

Cruise Ship Portraits

To my fellow cruisers, have you seen those cheap people who have their portraits professionally taken onboard, then use their own digital camera to take a blurry photo instead of actually buying the portrait? On past cruises, Sexy Nerd and I have always made fun of people like that. Then we learned that the 2 photos above were going to cost almost $50!
