Default about sitting for extended time.

so i just started and drove my car for the first time in about 2 months. is it normal to smoke a little?
also, as soon as it is warmed up the rpms drop to about 500 and it sounds like my car is gonna die.
any help is appreciated.

Leaky valve stem seals can cause oil to drain down into the cylinders after an extended period of time. If the smoke goes away, you're probably safe for now. The rough idle could be any number of things. Check your plugs for signs and search on iacv.
If the smoke smells like coolant, you might have a bad headgasket.
