In the case that I might be mistaken and you truly are ignorant as to the use of the word, it's a southern colloquialism meaning 'prepare to do something; to perform ablutions'.

Very funny.

I did NOT know what fixin' meant when the term was first used in my presence (my first year in college, when I was paired with a roomate from Arkansas). I was not and am not "ignorant." I was not raised in the South and had never heard that term before. Yes, I do know what it means now . . . I guess I should have used the saracastic smilie in my post.
