blue is always bad if it continues to do it after the engine has been heated up ( couple minutes ). it happened to my car and i posted here, long story short i was driving to court ( go figure ) and a truck driver told me as i was driving i was blowing smoke like hell ( i couldnt see it i have wierd tints in back that block out the smoke ).... well its now 5 months later and still no fd... hmm.... be careful.

probably just burning some extra gas or something, most car will puff out some smoke after not being started for a while, and from what people keep mentioning about "first start in a while" and whatever they all seem to smoke, but if you start it again tomorrow and it does it you may want to be safe rather then sorry and look a bit deeper into it, ya know?
