Blatherings 2008 Index
Welcome to the 2008 archives of Debbie's Blatherings, a personal blog where I've been posting since 1997. To get back to the main Blatherings page: http://debbieohi.com/blatherings. You can also find me on Twitter: @inkyelbows (writing), @DebOhi (personal friends/family, non-work), @BGGgirl (board gaming), @iPadGirl.
Because of various online moves, my archives are split into different journal pages:
1997 - 1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009 - 2010+ (current archives).
