If it just happened once after sitting, I would not worry about it. With both of my Mustangs, they will smoke if I run them for a short very short time. If I back one out of the garage, let it sit, then start it again and pull back in, I will get blue smoke every time. They have always done it and the one Mustang I have owned since new.

It could be a little bit of oil gets past the valve seals after it's been sitting for a while, OR it could also be the overly rich condition that occurs on start up (which seems worse when it sits for week). Also, both of my Fords will do it if they sit for over a week.
