Just got my first orchid, a Phalaenopsis--and I have no idea what to do now... :)

I'm so excited and proud to own my first orchid. They're apparently not very popular in my small, Mississippi-hill-country town. I've been combing stores for the past couple months for one, and finally at Lowe's, a few hours from where I live, my dad and I ran across a shelf of them! I fell in love with a dainty, smooth-colored Phalaenopsis. It was buried underneath the other bigger orchids, and I think I knocked one of the flowers off when I was trying to pull it out from under them, though I was careful. Then again, that bloom may've already fallen off. It's not very tall, definitely no more than eight inches if that, and now only has three flowers. The bottom one is healthy and beautiful, but the top two are kind of saggy--the top one especially. The lively one has a light green stem connecting it to the main dark green stem, and the next up has more of a white stem with a hint of green and pink. The top, most saggy one has a pink stem. The leaver are a darkish green, but they're pretty firm and leathery.

I've only been into gardening and flowers for like a week or so--though it's been a zealous new love--so I'm not very savvy on how to take care of them. I've read up on them some, about how it's important not to over-water them and don't get the flowers wet when you water them and keep them in a humid place with bright, indirect light, etc.

I'm basically just feeling like a paranoid new mother even though I've only had it for a few hours--I'm completely attached to it!

So what should I do about those wilty, saggy blooms? The color of the flower is fine, other than that mini-stem-thing, it's just not holding itself up and is starting to close up or something. Do I pinch them off or let them fall away on their own or do something to make them better?

Or anything else I should know?

I would put up pictures, but I don't have a working digital camera...so I'm left to descriptions.
