In one of my classes, my students were studying synonyms. The word was hungry and the synonym was PECKISH. I love it, what a great farmgirl word. Now instead of saying I am hungry I will say I am peckish.

Off Topic: Star Trek <3

Hubby and I have been going through Voyager together. I watched it a ton when it came out and I'm even more impressed with it now while I'm older and have a greater perspective. Everything The Voyager crew does on a weekly basis is monumental enough for commendations and there's a lot of "just below the surface" storylines going on that you have to watch the characters closely to get.
I'll always have a soft spot for Michael Dorn as Worf though!

Love the Peckish word! My problem is that I am ALWAYS Peckish and now instead of being a "Bantam" I am more like an oven stuffer roaster....LOL (Couldnt resist!)

Laurie, I agree I think I am peckish most of the time. As a matter of fact I had to try on about ten things this morning because my pecking is making my clothes too,tight.
Sharon, I think "Winter bear tired" is very descriptive of how I feel much of the time. I think I'll try using that,too.

Cathy, I've heard about these things called "calories"... apparently they're like mischievous fairies that get into your closets and sew your clothes just a teensy bit tighter every night!! ^_^
