About My New Blog

I have moved Margaret's Musings, aka "The Brown Recluse," to a brand new home, and changed the title and feel of it a little.   After much deliberation, I decided to stay with blogger; but for now, I will not have a custom domain...and most likely, never again will I have a custom domain with Google, who owns Blogspot.

After Google royally messed up Margaret's Musings, readers were no longer getting notifications, and other blogs who tagged posts of mine or have me on their blogroll now have broken links.  To say it's been an emotional roller coaster is understating it.   I have spent over 5 years of my life writing in that blog, and with over 100,000 hits, I felt as if someone was, perhaps, deriving a little enjoyment from my silly words.

With the 2014 A to Z challenge coming up beginning April 1, I felt that would be the perfect time to make the move.    Over the next few weeks, I will be adding some of my favorite pages/posts from M's Ms to this site.  I will add a page (tab, underneath the header) labeled The Brown Recluse and the entries will be added there.

I left the Blogger navigation bar (Navbar) at the top of the blog, which has a search option and a "Next Blog" option.  I cannot guarantee where clicking that button will take you!  

You'll notice the absence of the spider.  Never fear, she will be back.  I am just not sure where she will be placed, but she'll be here.

After a long pause in writing about losing weight, I'll give some updates and insight on that during the A to Z challenge...and admit openly that I have gained most of my weight back.   I'll talk about that, too.   I'll still share my photography, and hopefully, some of my own doodles, as well. 

So, here we have it...Committed Thoughts.    

Welcome to my head noise.


These photos make me long for summer even more.
It's been a long, hard winter.
