12 Goals by AND in 2012

A lot of people are doing "12 before '12" which translates to...12 goals to complete before 2012 arrives.  The year 2012 is very close...about two months away.  The goals I will set to be completed by 2012's start will be small, quick, easy, and simple goals that I will very easily be able to complete by the deadline.

The second list are 12 BIG goals to complete in the year of 2012.  Got it?  Make sense?  12  goals to complete in 2 months.  AND THEN 12 more goals to complete in the year 2012.  Ok..here we go.

12 By 2012.
I will complete the following 12 goals before the year 2012.

1. Vacuum our house.  (We have been living in our house since September 18th and it has not been vacuumed since we've been there.  Gross.  Don't tell my mom.)
2. Put away all of the gifts we received as wedding presents.
