Here's what your fellow bank marketers said in response to last month's "QUESTION OF THE MONTH"

Where are you most likely to be found on your day off?

I'm an avid photographer, so my "day off" is likely to be spent in pursuit of another picture. Photography is a relaxing hobby for me. It is a mental exercise that changes my thinking and makes me more creative in every area of my life.

The boring answer would be catching up on housework and laundry, but since it's called a "day off" I assume that includes chores too. So with that said, you can find me on the golf course riding the roller coaster of emotions of loving and hating the game depending on how I'm playing. Thank goodness my husband goes with me to keep me from dumping my clubs in the water where undoubtedly several of my golf balls already lay to rest.

I am most likely at home with my family. I have three children: a daughter, 17, a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old boy. My husband and I are normally at home, or taxiing the children to their various activities. Baseball, golf and play dates. Other than that, doing laundry, vacuuming, dusting, cleaning bathrooms etc ... Wow this depresses me a little, my life is not very exciting anymore, but I would not trade it for anything in the world!

On my day off, you will undoubtedly find me taking over kid duty for my 4-year-old twins!
