homesick rae,
Most keyboards are sealed and designed for the occasional spill. Try putting it out in the sun for a few hours. If not, it is a great excuse to get a new keyboard. There are some very good keyboards out there that do not cost much.
Logitech has some great keyboards:
Internet Navigator™ Keyboard
Elite™ Keyboard
If you want to go all out:
Logitech® Cordless MX™ Duo
(Which comes with the cordless rechargeable MX700 Optical Mouse)
Take Care,
Richard
