It's Sunday already??? Where did the week (and more importantly, my Saturday) go?

2, 3, 6, 7, 9? 10, 15, 18 & 19.

Shouldn't 9 be Miley Cirus, not Miley Stewart? If so, I got that one.

I see your clue now. When I did "New Posts", I started at the top and didn't know why you were off schedule until I got to the 4th trivia.

Thanks for the clarification on 9. I see my kids watching it from time to time and get the gist of it but never got to that detail.
