I think it is just normal that we tend to become to obsessive in holding up a party and arranging or fixing our home that depends wholly in the occasion. We're just trying to make them comfortable and be relaxed the moment they visit our home.

Instant order, for me, but my mother noticed blinds vacuumed but not washed etc. I was thrilled to learn that being too clean engenders allergies.
