About me… for real

A little about me…

I love to cook – a friend told me she loves to see me when I’ve cooked something of my choice. It makes me happy. Cooking is an amazing creative outlet. One you can really share with others. Not just to look at, but to eat. Enjoy.

I love music – I love to listen to it, play it (on my acoustic guitar), sing it (privately). Playing my guitar for God is like dancing out loud.

I love children – Most people would tell you that I was born to be a mom. In general, I find that people grossly underestimate children.

I love to dance – Not for people, in fact I’d prefer away from people. I love to dance for God, and with God.

There is more to me of course, but these are a few major passions in my life right now.

long past due

Well i suppose i am long past due needing to blog again…

Life isn’t what i hoped it would be. i suppose there are just too many variables that are out of my control.

i need some time away from life. and so i will be leavin for the east coast in march. don’t know how long i’ll stay. but i hope to come back with my head a little more level.

another thought about my name

So, I have no middle name… or do I? It’s hifinated, so techically it’s part of my first name right? So how do I fill out paper work? Last name, First name, Middle name; K……. , Jonetta-Anne,    ? First name, middle initial, last name; Jonetta A K…….  What of my diploma has the wrong version? does it mean “i” didn’t graduate? How many of “me” exist? Jonetta-
Anne K…. , and Jonetta Anne K….. , and Jonetta A K……. . Hmm …. So is anne my middle name or part of my first? Why have my parents left me with this dilema. Should people call me Jonetta-Anne on a normal basis. I am perplexed. What is my name? My fist name, my middle name, my name a s a whole.

Alas, i shall never know. I will go on in life and not know how to fill out forms.

Jonetta, or some such nonsense

In the search for a name for my blog/wordpress page I decided to do some resaerch about the meaning and background of my name. Unfortunatly, having a rare name means that it is not in many name/name meaning dadtabases. I did find many “similar names” though. Some are odd, some are outragios, and some are animals!

One website (www.behindthename.com) tells you the language/country, gender, pronounciation, and the root name or what word it came from. Here are some names that “sound similar”: Janetta (feminine; english; Elaborated form of Janet), Jonette (feminine; norwegian/english;Feminine pet form of John), Yewande (feminine; Yoruba; Means “mother has returned” in Yoruba), Gennadiy (masculine; Russian; Russian for of Gennadius (which is greek)). Janetta: ironic that it is an elaboration of Janet, because that is the one nick-name I loath. Jonette: again ironic, my dad’s name is John. Yewwenda: once more with the irony, I am a very nurturing person (mother-like you could say). Gennadiy: i learned from following many links that it may be derived from a greek word meaning “noble, generous”.

At this point in my research, it sounds like my parents made a good selection. Next I tryed my beloved Encarta encyclopedia. Again I found no direct link to my name, but one very interesting item. Genetta (Genet); they are a small carnivourous mamals. There is no similarity here though, other then we both seem odd.

I am no more educated about my name now then I was before my “research”. I am, though, slightly more enlightened about this place we call earth
