Day 11) Dust off my old CD’s and start listening. Yes, it is true: I graduated in the late 80’s, and I am most excited about seeing AC/DC live. Oh, and here’s hoping that Madonna is better than last year.
Day 10) Go running. Help friends move. Listen to Sam Smith (because I don’t know any of his music other than Stay With Me, and I probably should).

Day 9) Try on my dress to determine necessary accessories. Isn’t that a mouthful?! But seriously, I still need to purchase undergarments, jewelry, and probably something to control my Elf-like hair!
Day 8) OMG! I’m going to the GRAMMY’S, and I get to walk down the RED CARPET!!! And I get to see Lady Gaga sing with TONY BENNETT, and so far, it looks like no head-banging from Taylor this year! Go running.
Day 7) Pack. An Elf can never be too prepared. Packing early will ensure that I have all necessary supplies for anything that comes my way on Grammy morning.

| Don't judge |
Day 6) Go to the Apple store. It is obvious that my last-leg-now-apparently-obsolete iPhone 5, will need to be upgraded so I have appropriate technology to take pictures and capture the Elf and Hobbit experience for all of you. And…run, AGAIN.

| Maybe I should reconsider my running WITH the phone |
Day 5) Set the DVR to make certain we record the festivities, and read the program so I know who (besides Weird Al) is up for Best Comedy Album.
Day 4) Call my Hobbit friend to make certain there isn’t something I forgot to do or pack. I may have the long legs, but she has all the creative brain-power. She will inevitably think of things I never even considered. Then? You guessed it: run, for the last time prior to our trip down the red carpet.
Day 3) Fly to Los Angeles. YES! Did I mention I am going to the GRAMMY’S?!! Oh, and eat salad and drink lots of water, so I don’t become a bloated Elf in the travelling process.

| I'll just have a Diet Coke |
Day 2) Pick up our tickets, and try not to stare and look star-struck when George Michael walks by. Note: I am so jealous of “The Boy”, who actually did see him last year!
Day 1) Get up early, put my Elf self together, and look stunning for the cameras all day long. And, most importantly, ENJOY every single moment of this amazing day! After all, it is not every day one gets to go to the Grammys!
