You’ve seen those Facebook posts, right? The ones that ask you to list a bunch of quirky things about yourself and tag umpteen people plus the person who tagged you? Well this is one of them, and you’re one of my umpteen. Consider yourself tagged.

1. I jumped out of an airplane without a parachute. Sure, the tandem instructor had one strapped to his back and I had the tandem guy strapped to mine, but technically, this girl did not have on a parachute. The hardest part was hanging onto the side of the single-engine Cessna for two minutes while tandem guy got readjusted. It’s hard to let go of a plane when you’ve had two minutes to think about the letting go. But it would have been harder to land that way, so I released my grasp and fell. Soared. Floated. And then we hit the ground like we were sliding into home plate face first. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Hopefully, with a smoother landing next time.

2. I once weighed 400 pounds. I had gastric bypass surgery 15 years ago and lost about half my weight. I put back on about 50 pounds but I’m working on getting rid of that, slowly but surely. My first visit with Dr. Hay last week revealed my cholesterol is a tad high, so I need to readjust the family menu a bit so I won’t need to take medicine for it.

3. I didn’t think I could have children, so imagine my shock when I discovered that I was six months pregnant. Jessica is 22 now and is definitely God’s miracle and my blessing.

4. I have ridden an elephant into the center ring at the circus and then blew the whistle and shouted “On with the show!” I left after that though because of number 5.

5. I suffer from coulrophobia, and there’s nothing funny about it. I get serious heebie-jeebies from it. Yes people, I am afraid of clowns.

6. When I was a receptionist at a radio station in Biloxi in 1992, a new country artist came by to promote his song, “Indian Outlaw.” I jokingly told a young Tim McGraw that no one would remember him in two years because he was teasing me about my crush on Garth Brooks. I guess he showed me, huh?

7. My favorite snack is creamy peanut butter on sliced American cheese.

8. I’ve seen “Lake Placid” about 20 times. I crack up every time.

9. I went to University of Southern Miss with Brett Favre, but we didn’t run with the same crowd. Go figure. Billy Stewart (former dean of community services at Co-Lin) was Mr. USM that year.

10. I married another Brett from USM. Brett Campbell dated my college roommate. Twenty-eight years later, we both posted something on that college roommate’s Facebook page and it was love at first emoji. We’re celebrating our second wedding anniversary next week.

11. Rick Springfield — my teenage crush — once pressed against me as he squeezed through the crowd at Hard Rock in Biloxi on his way back to the stage. All I could do was snap a blurry photo and whimper like a little girl.

12. Two-hundred and forty-four. That’s the number of Rick Springfield posters that adorned my walls when I was 14.

13. I won’t eat lettuce. I won’t eat anything that has lettuce juice on it. Lettuce is yucky.

14. I was once in the same room as a Beatle. I snuck into Ringo Starr’s encore when he played at Beau Rivage in Biloxi several years ago.

15. I’m mostly deaf in my left ear. Ironically, I also have tinnitus in that ear so the one thing I can hear is a high-pitched ringing all the time. All. The. Time.
