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

Kids are Repulsive. Repulsive!

I'm reposting this because I'm currently having a bit of a maybe-baby scare. All those "we didn't socially distance" pregnancy announcements are pretty funny...until it happens to you! Okay, on to the repost. I'll just be here, freaking out. I did something stupid at work on Friday. Someone forgot their sippy cup of milk in the waiting room of our pediatric dental office. I placed it on our Lost and Found shelf, thinking I would throw it out if no one came for it by that afternoon.  Then, I forgot all about it. It was a hot weekend here in Albuquerque and we leave our air conditioning turned off when the office is closed. I knew the sippy cup of milk was going to smell, but it was so much worse than I'd ever imagined. Instead of just a cup of sour milk, I entered our office today to find this horrible, milk-jelly. Not only was it stuck to everything, it was dripping down the edge of the shelf and onto the carpet below. Apparently, the rotting

Cake Mix Pudding

Quick side note: Google is ridiculous. Did you know if you search ' cake mix pudding',  every result is for cake mixes that contain pudding and recipes on how to add pudding mix to a cake you are baking? When I think of CAKE MIX PUDDING, I want a pudding that tastes like cake mix. If you're like me, you've arrived at the right place. What's your favorite kind of cake? You can easily turn it into a delicious, no-bake pudding. Cake mix pudding! Just think of all the possibilities: Devil's Food pudding, Red Velvet pudding, Pumpkin pudding, Funfetti pudding, Strawberry pudding... Here is a quick and easy and SO GOOD dessert recipe that can be made ahead of time for your 4th of July get together. This is a million times better than those boxed Jello Pudding mixes. Think of this as more of a thick custard - you'll actually be able to turn your spoon upside down without your cake mix pudding falling off! (At least for a little while. I don't want to s

Jessner Peel

Can you believe it has been 7 years since my first  Jessner Peel   and the resulting blog post (filled with gory photos - don't say I didn't warn you), which is still popular to this day?  I remember being nervous prior to my first professional treatment and thought it would be helpful to share my experience with chemical peels for anyone else who is considering this beauty service. How nervous was I? Here's what I wrote here on my site back in 2013: I hate my skin! Hate, hate, hate!! This week, at the age of 29, I had my first chemical peel. It was almost painless, but I'm told that my entire face is going to come sloughing off like a snakeskin, probably starting tomorrow. I'm also told that under  absolutely no circumstance  can I help the icky bits of dead, dried skin on their journey to the floor, where they will undoubtedly and repulsively be frantically gobbled up by Pica and Biscuit. Hands off, no matter how ridiculous and gross my face looks, or I'

Funny Dog Memes

How can anyone not like dogs? Here are FUNNY DOG MEMES about everyone's best friend. Thank you to everyone for the positive response to my first Funny Memes blog post. It was wildly popular! As a result, here are some more things to make you laugh, including an original meme only available here. I just renewed my domain name (for NINE years) and it was painfully expensive, especially considering this poor, unsuccessful site never makes any money. Seriously, this site is so in the red that I can't even claim the expense on my taxes. If you can share these memes and drive some traffic here, I'll love you forever! I need to get my stats up prior to May, 2030. Like Christmas, it will be here before you know it. Funny Dog Memes Want to see some funny doggos? Check out Olive and Bernadette in their pajamas !
