Satellite Sisters July 7, 2012: Entertaining Sh...
Sheila and Liz got together today to record a little summer entertainment review. Many movies to discuss including Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, Benh Zeitlin's Beast of the Southern Wild, Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister, Sarah Polley's Take This Waltz and even Woody Allen's To Rome With Love.  Some of these movies they've seen, some they have not seen and several Sheila has no intention of seeing even though Liz recommends them.  Whatever. Sheila's also got some notes for the Real Housewives Of Everywhere on few phrases they should STOP saying.  And both Liz ans Sheila spent some vacation time this week trying a new spa service they may never attempt again.  Mulch bath, anyone?

Julie, Liz, Sheila and Monica on today's Satellite Sisters. First a salute to a solid gold Satellite Sister Nora Ephron.  Nora was a favorite guest on our show and always managed to be the wise and funny voice of sisterhood. Next on to some news + sports highlights.  Liz was stymied this week trying to keep up with all the headlines.  Thanks for nothing, CNN. Then Julie has a real shocker.  She found a .... well, you'll just have to listen. No spoilers here. Sheila shares some moments of meltdown. She would like to officially apologize to her mechanic and thank a stranger at Von's. And Monica files the Mom + Dad report (she was visiting them all week) and has some crazy beauty news from The New York Times.  Were they kidding?? Hard to say.

Julie and Liz are together on the show today sharing the Satellite Sisters experience on moving their father to an Alzheimer's Care Center just a week ago.  It's been a wrenching week for the whole family, but with a few moments of humor (of course!). Who would have guessed our mother's building would be surrounded by a SWAT team complete with choppers the very same week?  When it rains, it pours, people.

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.

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.
