As you read, are you wearing your shoes? Is your sink shiny? Can you walk through your living room without tripping over clutter? Would a knock on your door cause you to die of embarrassment?
In her classic book, “Sink Reflections” (Bantam, 2002), author Marla Cilley remembers the days when she slouched around in bare feet and uncombed hair.

She conquered CHAOS, which is her clever acronym for Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome.
