Default A little white smoke upon startup? Ideas?

So I went to visit a friend today, was there for about 3 hours, left her house, drove about 5 minutes and stopped at a 7-11. Came back out and when I turned the car on I noticed some white smoke coming out the exhaust. I got out and went to look at it, and it was gone. Any ideas what this could be? Mear condensation or something more serious? After I got home I checked it again and it was gone. And then I went out again a few minutes ago and turned it on and didnt notice anything either. Doest seem like a head gasket.. ideas?

It could be the PCV valve, they are somewhat problematic on these cars. Thankfully though they are any easy fix. However I'd get a second opinion before you go taking my advise as law.
