Yea, that your personal site also hurts my eyes, especially in the blog page the "read more" and "tags" etc.. I’d reconsider the choice of your colors
You can get both refreshing and still readable.
This is not really your problem, but I get FF adblock tabs both in the hotel site and in the financial company site next to each menu item and text headings because they are done using flash... Just curious, why you decided to do them with Flash?
Other than that, nice sites
