Dolan Holiday Hilarity, Monica's search for the perfect White Elephant, Julie's beef with the NHL, Lian's dismay about Howard Stern in prime time and Liz's customer service kudos.

It's Julie, Sheila & Monica this week and they've got lots to cover from Santa Ana winds to office Christmas parties.  And Monica has a new scientific study to tell us about.

Julie & Liz award Satellite Sister of the Week to longtime listener and facebook friend Leslie Maxfield for sharing her excitement about the launch of Mars-bound Curiosity with us.  Leslie, who works at Cal Tech, was at the Kennedy Space Center for the big event. In other news, Julie bonds with an air marshal, Liz has an issue with Harry & David, and the Satellite Sisters export both Diane Keaton's haircut and Chico's to Kyrgyzstan.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Satellite Sisters.  What are your plans for the big day?

Liz is live from London with some surprises. Julie's a Penn State alum and has some words on that.  Lian gives us the scoop on her HGTV pitch (sounds like a winner to us!) And Monica confesses some dirt on her dirty dishes.

All FIVE Sisters!  Julie introduces new segment: Cranky or Cause? Sheila bombs at a book fair, Lian's got a brand new TV concept, Monica has a Dunder Mifflin moment and Liz updates us on her anxious dog situation.

The Satellite Sisters troubleshoot their new apps.  Good news for iPhone users.  Not so much for Androids.
Also, Julie's gift of an iPad to her husband has far-reaching,  unintended consequences.  Lian's got a new thing going with Diane Keaton.  Monica's experiencing Extreme Nesting.  And Liz is the victim of a Ham Scam. 

Happy Halloween to all!

A HUGE announcement.  Entertaining Sheila (sort of) on "Drive" and doing the right thing.

Julie, Liz, Sheila & Monica have a full full report from the big wedding/Dolan extravaganza in Nola last weekend. 

Big Sister turnout this week:

We have a report from Lian and Sheila about the comedy show they did this weekend in Pasadena.  Plus, Monica's pizza fiasco - how an extra Hawaiian pie almost collapsed her fragile financial structure. And behind the scenes at the Emmys with Liz!
