Opinions, Please

If you click through from your reader very often you might notice that I have trouble leaving well enough alone around here.  I tend to change the look of things a tad more than I probably should.  Friday, I found myself with some free time.  Of course, I spent it playing around with buttons and headers.

Yes, there were about a kazillion other things that I shoulda been doing, but I didn't.

Buttons and headers were calling my name.

So, here's the thing.  I hit on something that I really like.  Buuuuut......Stephan doesn't like the header, and my mom doesn't like the whole darn thing.  Sigh.  I'm not at all offended, but I am wondering if my judgment might be a tad off.  Maybe all the household renovations and being stuck at home for days on end while Stephan works ungodly long hours and I have no car....maybe....just maybe all of that is affecting my head and my sense of pretty.

It's possible.

Here's where you come in.  I want to know your honest opinion.  Do you like it or not?  I'm not going to be offended if the answer is "no".  Heck, if I can handle the resounding "no's" from my family then I can definitely handle yours.  So, tell me..."Yay" or "Nay".

P.S.  I don't promise to make any changes based on anyone's opinions.  I just want to know.  In the end, I'll weigh the opinions with how much I still like it, and we'll see.

Happy Sunday to you!

Edit: Thanks for all of the great feedback.  I did end up taking all of your advice and changing the header a bit.  Better/Worse?
