WTF is this?

Welcome!  Or should I say: how did you get in here?  This is sort of an experimental blog I thought I'd toss out into the blogosphere after a little idea I had and encouragement I found on Twitter.  The idea is basically this: anyone can post about anything.  Send me an e-mail or comment here if you want to be added to the author list, or find me on Twitter, and I will send you the invitation.  For now, I'll only be adding people I know (or have heard of from people I know), but we'll see how it goes. 

The original idea is basically that of a complaint department for real life.  Feel free to come here to vent, bitch, whine, moan, groan, and generally have a little pity party.  Maybe, if we all band together, it will have sort of a group therapy effect.  I don't want to discourage positive posts, either - I just thought it'd be nice to have a kind of virtual living room (oohh, that would have been a good name for it.  Damn.) where we could share more than 140 characters when the spirit moved us.  I'm hoping you'll feel that way, too, and join me in posting here!

Now, I need to cry for help.  This thing looks like crap!  My husband is in a graphic design program, but he's way too busy and I don't feel like cleaning little bits of brain off the floor as I would need to if I asked him to help me make a design and his head exploded.  Sooooo... that's where you (maybe?) come in.  Can anyone help me take this blog from this:

 

... to this?:

Please help me!  Drop me a line in one of the aforementioned ways if you're interested.

So, what do you think?  Cheesy?  Lame?  Ridiculous?  Complain all about it in the complaints comments.  Meanwhile, I believe I have some damn kids to chase off my lawn.
Cheers!
