"Laundry and Frozen Dinosaurs"

In last night's dream I was at my friend Kim's house. It wasn't really her house, but it was.
(They recently moved to their third house since I've known her.) The house in the dream was a little bit of some of her houses and a little bit of the house I was in when I met her. (I've been in three houses in that time frame too.)
At first, I was outside doing laundry. There was a clothes line, and a shed that held the washing machine and dryer. The back yard was very pretty, like a country garden. (It reminded me of a friend's back yard in Alabama.) I saw a kitten playing a few yards away, and noticed that he was playing with a baby fox. (It was like The Fox and the Hound, only a cat instead of a dog.) They scampered off through the bushes by a white fence. I thought it was a little strange to see a fox and kitten playing, but I went right back to the laundry.
I was picking up piles and piles of clean clothes to take inside to fold. I kept dropping pieces and getting frustrated. (There was even a pile of men's button up shirts already on hangers.)
I got an arm load inside and sat on the floor by the TV to fold. A Shirley Temple movie was on. She was saying, "I sing good. People like my voice, but it's my face that gets me all the parts." (odd, I know.)
As I was watching her, I realized that the movies were late. They were due back at Blockbuster the day before. (For real, Blockbuster went back to charging an over-due fee, and I had 'late movies' just a few days ago. I'm switching back to netflix.) The movies that were late in real life flashed through my mind, as did some other random cartoon movie and this Shirley Temple thing I was watching.
I got up to take them to the store. I never actually went though. I ended up in the kitchen looking for a snack. I was looking through multiple leftovers when Kim came in. She pointed out a little scene in the door shelf of the freezer that Lauren (her daughter) had made. "Can you tell what they are?" she asked. "Yeah, they are dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets," I said. The scene was made of salad and shredded carrots for grass, and frozen (all crystally white) dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets. 
...and that was the extent of the dream.

I'd love to sit and ponder the meaning with you, but I have to go to counseling in a few minutes, so "Ciao."
