1. If you work, do you drive to work or take public transportation?
I drive. I wish I lived in a city that had decent public transportation or a state that promoted public transportation, but alas the city buses are stinky and scary and the state government rejects federal grants for public transportation in the name of tax cuts. For awhile I carpooled but I no longer live near anyone else working the same early shift as I do, so I dirty up the environment all on my own.
2. How often do you get your haircut? Do you go to the same person every time?
I only get my hair cut every 6 months or so, when the style has completely grown out and hideous. I used to go to the same girl all the time, but she defriended me on FB (I don't think it was malicious, but still) so I shopped for a new person and I think my last stylist was a winner. I'm keeping her.
3. Do you read the newspaper? If so, a hard copy or the online version?
We recently subscribed to the paper copy for coupon reasons, but I read online and also pick up the TBT, which is our local free paper, when I get a chance.
4. What is the best book you have read this year?
Hmmm ... Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead is the last book in the Vampire Academy series and I salivate over those books. One Day by David Niccolls was excellent. So was Listen by Rene Guttridge. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot was the only nonfiction book I read, but it was wonderful. Keeping a list this year of all the books I've read really helps me remember the really good books.
5. What is the best movie you have seen this year?
I haven't seen that many (still more than many years) but The Fighter was fabulous and I hate boxing. Check back with me when I'm finally able to see The King's Speech.
6. Do you tend to crave sweet or salty foods?
Hmmm. I crave food, period. I crave salty foods mostly, but a well-placed small bit of sweet can satisfy me to stop snacking.
7. Do you eat breakfast every day? If so, what do you have?
yes. I need proteins to keep me going, so I usually eat eggs or peanut butter and honey on toast. And coffee - lots of lots of coffee.
8. If you celebrate Easter, what Easter treat/candy are you most looking forward to?
I'm not looking forward to candy in the house again ... the last candy in my house was Christmas and I gorged myself on them. I do love jelly beans.
9. How late is “sleeping in” to you?
Once upon a time was it was 9am or so (I've never been huge at sleeping) but now anything past 7am is gravy.
10. Where are you going on your next vacation?
In August I get to go to Delaware to visit a friend for a long weekend for her wedding shower ... so excited!! (except that she has eight thousand cats and I'm allergic ... I'm a little worried about staying in the house with twelve cats for four days, but I'm going to stockpile allergy medicines and hope for the best)

Look at you scoring the #1 spot on the link list! Early bird and all that! :)
I'm so with you on the sleeping in thing. Growing up, sleeping until 9 was a real treat (my dad wakes up before 5, and often before 4 without an alarm, so there was no room for late sleepers in my house). The only time I ever "slept in" was my freshman year of college in the dorms. We somehow managed to put a comforter over our bedroom window and block out all the light sufficiently and my roommate and I got lazy one weekend and just slept until we felt like it. We woke up at 11:30 or something and were like "huh, so that's what this feels like?"
