"  Stock up on extra pumpkins, potted mums, and holiday decorations while the best selection is out for Halloween. (Yes, the fresh stuff will last a few more weeks.)   Check your spices. Toss any that are past their prime; add to your list.   Survey your surfaces. Any really visible stains on the carpet or dining room chairs? Either schedule time to clean them soon or call in a pro.   Give your plants some TLC. To avoid a sad, droopy, or dead zone at the end of the month, give greenery water and a little plant food about two to four weeks prior to the big day. Soon flowers should be bold and foliage vibrant.   Clean the house thoroughly so you can focus on other projects for the next couple of weeks. Put the oven through a self-cleaning cycle, and don&amp;#039;t forget to do a cobweb check by flicking on the lights or chandelier in the dining room.   Set up appointments for a haircut this week and a manicure next week, so the salons won&amp;#039;t be all booked up when you&amp;#039;re ready to look your best.
