1. Chely is very shapely. At her current, highest weight, she wears a DD bra and frequently shows off her cleavage when she’s not at work. At the hospital, though, she wears fairly conservative attire under her scrubs and hospital jackets.
2. Chely’s first serious relationship was with Anna Martin, another nursing student at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. They broke up when Anna couldn’t handle her Baptist family’s disapproval.
3. Chely’s romantic relationships with men tend to be intense and short-lived. She’s not sure why this happens but it’s definitely been a pattern. She’s considering going for therapy to try to figure this out.
4. Because she tends to be flirty, Chely sometimes leads people, especially men, to believe she’s hitting on them when she really isn’t. She’s very firm, though, about not flirting with patients. She knows it’s unprofessional and it could get her, and the hospital, in trouble.
5. Though she only attends Mass a few times a year, Chely always observes Dia de los Muertos. When she can get off work that day, she catches a ride with her brother Bobby the night before and they meet their family at the San Antonio graveyard where their mother, who died in 2005, is buried.
6. Chely likes to unwind after work. If she’s worked a day shift, she will often head to a bar near the hospital and have a Cosmo, a margarita or an appletini. If she’s worked a night shift, she will go home, make herself a drink and listen to Selena or Ricky Martin CDs on headphones while she plays Bejeweled Blitz or Farmville on Facebook.
7. Chely lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment. After growing up in a small house with six other people (parents and 4 siblings), she likes having her own space. She’s a bit of a clutterbug and often has to throw things that are lying around in the living room into a closet if she knows someone is coming over on short notice.
8. Chely usually takes a short shower, washes her dishes by hand, and doesn’t turn on the air conditioning until her apartment temperature is over 82 degrees. Her frugal nature fits well with her desire to be environmentally friendly.
9. Chely drives a 2006 Toyota Prius, bought used in 2009.
10. Chely feels free - some might say compelled - to correct people who mispronounce or misspell either of her names. “It’s CHEH-lee ess-koh-BAY-doh,” she’ll say.
