Satellite Sisters April 29, 2012
Sheila, Monica, Julie and Liz tackle the world one cup of coffee at a time: Sheila and Liz have a complete report on Bruce Springsteen in Los Angeles.  Sheila went Thursday night.  Liz went Friday night.  It's tempting to just get on that Wrecking Ball tour. Our Satellite Sisters Nike+ Walking and Running Challenge is getting loads of uptake from you.  Thanks, Sisters!  Keep up the good work. Julie has a major Commencement today.  The English language students she's been teaching have their big graduation ceremony. It's a moment to reminisce about Dolan family graduations gone by.  There was a definite protocol that developed over the years. Monica has a medical update from last week. Turns out its true that mustard and picke juice are good for you. Who knew? Sheila reviews Darling Companion.  Doesn't love it.  Could it be that she's not a dog lover? Liz teaches her parents how to get Movies On Demand from their cable box.  She's not hopeful that the lesson stuck. Julie has quick news update on North Korea,  Three words: Don't Be Fooled. And Sheila's novel strategy for breaking up with your hairdresser. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julie, Liz and Monica tackle the world one cup of coffee at a time. First, news on how to sign up for the Satellite Sisters Challenge. If you want to walk and run with us over the next three months, there's still plenty of time to sign up.  Directions on the show and on our Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  Monica and Julie both got on board this week. Then, hey Secret Service.  What's the deal?  Really? Julie has some home remedies she'd like to run by our staff R.N. Monica which gives Liz an opening for a glute activation update. Monica has a book confession.  Julie has a TV confession.  And Liz has a sports confession.  Despite her best efforts to provide a nice quiet afternoon for their father the Red Sox fan, the usual family divisions cropped up when the Yankees proceeded to crush them at Fenway Park on Saturday. After crushing them on Friday too. And finally, Monica remembers Levon Helm of The Band.  He died this week.  We end with a small musical salute.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Satellite Sisters April 15, 2012
Sheila has the ultimate Satellite Sisters experience getting her taxes done. Julie, our personal expert on North Korea because she just visited Pyongyang last year, gives us her perspective on the big dud rocket, plus she revives the First Ladies Desk to speak our on this week's kerfuffle about stay-at-home moms versus working moms.  Plus, she's on Golf Ball Watch.  She thinks her dog ate one. Monica wants to be sure we understand the difference between these two movies:  Jeff, Who LIves At Home and We Need To Talk About Kevin. She liked them both, but for VERY different reasons. Liz launches a Nike+ fintess challenge for all.  Get the details on our Facebook Group page and join up.  On a related note, Liz makes her first ever visit to a chiropractor.  Apparently, she is not adequately "activating her glutes."

Happy Birthday, Lian!  Liz and Monica start the show by wishing youngest sister Lian a happy birthday.  She started the day with a mad dash to the drugstore to get Benedryl for her son's bad allergic reaction.  Let's hope the day gets better from there.  Then discussion turns to Macchu Picchu, malaria pills and more.  Monica has a suggestion about carry-on luggage that dumbfounds us (and probably the TSA.) Meanwhile, she waits for the official word that this year she finally DID score the HGTV Dream House! Lian's more focused on winning the Downton Abbey sweepstakes. And Liz wants your suggestions about what she should do on her one day in Mumbai.  You heard that right.  One day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julie and Liz connect on the show today to discuss the sad death of Whitney Houston.  There was no better version of the national anthem EVER and yes, we loved The Bodyguard, no matter how corny.  Also this week, Julie magically learrns to speak Italian.  Molto bene! Plus, we answer the mailbag from The Satellite Sisters Facebook group, the @SatSisters twitter feed, posts on the www.satellitesisters.com blog and our plain 'ole email address sisters@satellitesisters.com.  And finally, a shocker.  Satellite Sisters Stick Up For A Supermodel.  Giselle, we would have done the same thing in your place.  Of course, we'd never be in your place.  But we can only imagine how we would feel if WE were married to Tom Brady.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julie's visit to North Korean last year gives her a unique perspective on the death of Kim Jong Il. Liz loves the all caucus/primary hoopla but is not sure we need QUITE this many Republican debates (two in the last 24 hours?  Really?) Sheila sticks up for Madonna's right to perform at the Super Bowl and is ready to believe Beyonce. Julie has her first Kindle moment and is concerned she may never again see the inside of a bookstore. And Sheila's new 2012 experiment?  Bird-watching!  If only she could get the right footwear.
