A personal sort of update...

[tabaqui]

Wow, i feel totally *weird* not having a fic to update. Sheesh. Anyway...firstly, Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mothers! I had a totally relaxing day, when i wasn't yelling at Monstrous for wanting to be on the freaking phone *every minute*!!!! And she's only nine!! Her own phone, my ass.
Sheesh.

I talked to my own mum, and sent her an email. She's a lovely, wonderful, beautiful woman and i'm lucky and blessed and thankful to have her as my own. I must post a picture soon.

Now...let's see. _beetle_ analyzed me! I'm too lame to do the meme myself, but you can see what she thinks of me here. Yes, a bit of an ego-stroke. *ahem*

Both sweptawaybayou and goddessleila tagged me in the 'what does your lj name mean' meme, so - here goes.

Tabaqui *pronounced ta-bar-kee* means - according to the secretary of the Kipling Society - "...brown colour from the Hindi word for tobacco "tambaku"--which is the colour of the Jackal.". Tabaqui is also the Jackal character from 'The Jungle Books' - sly and sycophantic partner to Shere Khan the Tiger. About him, Kipling says:"It was the jackal- Tabaqui, the Dish-licker- and the wolves of India despise Tabaqui because he runs about making mischief, and telling tales, and eating rags and pieces of leather from the village rubbish heaps. But they are afraid of him too, because Tabaqui, more than anyone else in the jungle, is apt to go mad, and then he forgets that he was ever afraid of anyone, and runs through the forest biting everything in his way. Even the tiger runs and hides when little Tabaqui goes mad, for madness is the most disgraceful thing that can overtake a wild creature..

So that's me, Tabaqui. :)

I also posted a new ficlet - a special, custom-made kink!fic all for literati. She so graciously made these Spander icons/headers and they are *so lovely*. So - Supernatural fic for her! It's here - Dry Heat. Enjoy!

Now - the big news!

Tomorrow - Monday the 15th - i'm going into the hospital for a hysterectomy. Yay! I've endured too much pain and ooginess because of my parts, and finally finally they're going to be gone! Or, rather, 'it' is, since the ovaries stay. I expect to be home sometime on Tuesday, and i have no clue when i'll be back here - if i can, i'll make a little 'home and doing fine!' post then. An old friend of the family is doing the anesthesia and i'm confident and just...*relived*. So, share my joy! Raise a glass of wine, or juice, to the death of my girly parts!!
:)


And that's all, folks! Look for more 'SNAFU' on Tuesday at douse_house!
*hugs you all*
