Where have the sisters been? An update.

Liz goes to India
Julie tests the Stuntmeter on the Goldman Sachs Guy
Plus, evidence of aging and more
Entertaining Sheila + Julie, Liz and Monica on all their faves who will NOT win tonight. Ask Sheila any question about her Oscar picks and her answer is Ryan Gosling, despite the fact that he is not nominated for anything. Oh, well. Ask Julie about her Oscar picks and the answer is pretty much “Please. Anyone but The Artist!.” On today’s Satellite Sisters, Liz and Monica chime in with their Oscar faves, too, plus: Monica wants to know if it’s true that “one is the quirkiest number” Julie has her report from Mardi Gras plus, yes, she finally bought a new computer. And now everything’s a mess. Liz recommends an audiobook in the spirit of the Satellite Sisterhood And all the sisters love the listener idea of holding a Carry-On Coat Contest. You’ll just have to listen to understand.

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.

Satellite Sisters Julie and Liz talk about the sad death of Whitney Houston. Yes, we LOVED The Bodyguard and we are NOT embarrassed to say so. And let’s just retire the National Anthem right now. There will NEVER be a better Superbowl version. Also on today’s show, Julie reports that she magically mastered speaking Italian this week. Molto bene! Plus, breaking news: Satellite Sisters Stick Up For A Supermodel. If we were married to Tom Brady, we would have done the same thing Giselle did. Plus loads of responses to you from The Satellite Sisters Facebook Group, our twitter feed @SatSisters, our blog at www.satellitesisters.com, and our email at sisters@satellitesisters.com.
