@catnip: Oh boo, that stinks. What did he say?
Let down: Well, as I've mentioned before on other posts, FI and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. It was an agreement we made when we first got together. We decided it was too commercialized and silly. Anyways, that being said, FI mentioned to me randomly that he celebrated it with his ex once. It bothered me for some reason. Not sure why. It's on my mind right now, but I'll get over it.
Pick me up: I bought us cannolis today because I couldn't resist. Haha.
Letdown: My SO is working and we work opposite shifts, so I won't see him today. This will be the first V-Day in 5 years I'm spending alone. 
Pick me up: I'm not really that upset about it, I'm going to snuggle my cat whether he likes it or not, and make something nice for myself for dinner. :)
Let down- This one's on me...His vday project/gift isn't complete in time and well obv no ring is a little let down...plus I think I have to cook tonight =\
Pick up- SO bought my favorite roses for me last night so he didn't have to battle men for the leftovers. He got me a potted tea rose to try and grow, too! Big boss at work brought in chocolate covered strawberries mmmmmm
Letdown: My FI had to fly home to be with his dad in the hospital (his dad had surgery but is fine; FI is just a wonderful son and went to be there for his mom).
Pick me up: My cat might sit on my lap for once, and I get to watch my guilty pleasure TV shows all evening.
@MissBoPeep: Ours are similar!
Let down: FI left this morning without wishing me a Happy Valentine's day. I was upset because I thought he forgot.
Pick me up: When I went back to the bedroom after my shower there was a box of cocolates on the bed with a note saying Happy Valentines day and that he couldnt wait for tonight. Yay! I thought he forgot. FI is very forgetful at times.
let down: I don't think dh even got me a card :( we decided not to do presents this year, but still, no card? I gave him one this morning and he loved it (it was funny...) but he didn't have one for me....I also was pretty sure he had forgotten altogehter, but we were talking about it last night and he said he hadn't. We've both been busy lately and it feels like we haven't really been connecting much
ETA: I forgot the pick-me-up-- I got a v-day "card," aka drawing, aka scribbles, from my toddler niece in the mail and it's super cute :)
ETA again: it's confirmed: dh DID forget and didn't get a card. he's making puppy-dog eyes and apologizing, but still. not cool!
@catnip Bah! your SO shouldn't still be getting gifts from his mom on valentines day! weird!
Let Down- I just know it's coming. I've been dreaming of my first married valentines day since I was a kid
Pick up- I sprung for the latte this morning instead of my usual coffee!
Letdown: DH works second shift and my bonus son will be at his Mom's tonight, so I will be home all by myself, more than likely eating ice cream.
Pick Me Up: DH and I did celebrate on Sunday and he cooked me an amazing dinner, plus the little guy bought me a giant chocolate heart and came running to give me a hug and Valentine's Day "love" when he heard me wake up this morning.
Let down: We were planning on making a fancy dinner together, but FI has to work late at work so I will be stuck making dinner myself.
Pick me up: It will be much quicker and he'll have to do the dishes!
@MissPumpkinPie: He just told me he loves chocolate covered strawberries and I shouldn't be so upset about it - he'll still eat them! (I already know he will be sick of chocolate covered strawberries by tonight).
I'll stick with the theme of the thread, since I'm full of complaints today apparently:
Let down: I'm totally PMSing this morning. This has to be the worst day of the year to PMS, because I feel like eating 17 boxes of chocolate, screaming at everyone, and crying in the corner all at the same time.
Pick me up: I won't have to search far to satisfy my chocolate cravings.
A little let down because FI and I are in an LDR so we don't get to do anything super fun. But he called me to wake me up this morning, which was really sweet.
Let-down: FI works all day, and I have a 3 -hour class... that's an hour drive away. So we won't see each other at all today.
Pick-me-up: We're having a date-night this weekend.
Letdown: DH has class late tonight and then a basketball game, so he won't be around until after midnight. I left him a surprise card and treats with his lunch today, and he hasn't even texted to thank me. He also didn't get me a card or anything.
Pickup: My mother mailed me some chocolates. Mom's always know!
Let down: Two tests today!
Pick me up: Before my FI and I started dating (freshman year!) he invited me over on Valentine's day to have some pizza and watch a movie with his roommate. Roommate thought I was bringing one of my girlfriends, but she was busy so I came alone. When I got there, it turns out it was a heart shaped pizza, awww :). Then it was funny because I wanted to be all ladylike and not eat the last piece of pizza even though I was still hungry, so his roommate was like "WELP, if no one wants it!" We started dating the week after that, and now we're engaged! So tonight it's heartshaped pizza in memory, and I WILL eat the last slice. Haha.
let down: i planned on waking up this morning and making DH a valentine's breakfast. he apparently had other plans to meet with guys from work for a "pep talk" meeting that they do every week.
pick me up: DH woke up at 5 am to pick up a HUGE vase of roses, carnations (some people hate them, but they remind me of my grandmother's old flower shop), and tons of baby's breath. next to it was a card (that almost had me in tears), and my favorite valentine's chocolates! plus--i didn't have to wake up at 5 am to make breakfast! yippee!
let down: FI has been gone since the begining of January and I have no idea when he will be home. So I have to spend V-day alone.
Pick me up: I'm totally abandoning my diet tonight, and taking myself on a date. ;)
Let down: I mentioned to FI the other day that while I don't expect anything much, I would appreciate some token of something so that Valentine's Day doesn't suck, and he said "Well, I was actually planning something already." This morning I said "Happy Valentine's Day!" to him as he headed out for work, and he was like "Isn't that not until the 14th?" "Um... yeah, today's the 14th." So I'm pretty sure whatever was going to happen isn't happening.
Pick-me-up: I'll get myself some awesome treat when I go grocery shopping after work, and a coworker just made some really tasty-smelling vanilla-flavored coffee!
Let Down: Fiancé is deployed again. Blah.
Pick Me Up: He's coming home in a month or so and I got flowers delivered. He's still awesome. I also get to spend the day with my momma!
let down: people already have gotten flowers and stuff delivered to my job, none for me :( we also dont have any plans for tonight, i guess we will just try to find a place to go out to eat, and if not i guess i will just have to cook BOOOO
pick up: w woke up to a happy valentine's day from my FI and he even suggested that we take the day off to be together, but we couldn't (whomp whomp) but it was nice that he suggested it.
Let Down: DH is deployed (and only at the beginning of a deployment...boo!)
Pick Me Up: I get to see all of my awesome music students today and, although I won't be at home to get it, DH might have hinted that something was coming in the mail today...sigh...
to be fair we did decide no presents this year as we are trying to save money. But I got SO a card and had heart shaped brownies delivered to his work. He had mentioned awhile ago he was going to take me out to my favourite restaurant this weekend, but he has totally forgotten because he hasnt brought it up again in weeks and his memory sucks so I know he has forgotten.
so let down: nothing for me on v-day and SO works late tonight.
pick me up: ummm. rrrrrr.... it's a fairly quiet day at work which is nice? haha. got to find the positives in everything. Also because he is working late I can catch up on some of my girlie TV shows and maybe cook myself a nice dinner.
Letdown: Even though we've never really celebrated Valentine's day before, since we're long distance this year, it removed even the possibility of him doing something sweet (and the package I sent to him definitely won't arrive today, oops!)
Pick-me-up: My daughter was SO excited to get to wear pink instead of her school uniform today, so we started off Valentine's day together by getting her all in red, pink and lots of hearts, with heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast. And then I came home from taking her to school and had a nap :)
Letdown: I have a major paper I have to get done by tomorrow and haven't even started. EEEK! Also, we don't really celebrate Vday because it's my dad's birthday annnnd we don't have money.
Pickup: Free dinner tonight at Red Lobster cuz it's my dad's bday yo! Woot woot- FOOD!
let-down: DH and I are really sick with a sinus infection since last week! :(
pick me up: last night, despite being sick DH picked out some of our fav. chocolates and brought me my favorite flowers (white roses)...
the day isn't so much romantic as it is just making me feel better :P get well gifts are the best
I totally get it. Here's mine.
Let down: DH and I "celebrated" this weekend by going out to dinner and coming home and watching a movie. Nice enough. So we weren't gonna do much on the actual day. But this morning I woke up and made him muffins for breakfast. I don't get up with him, so this was a (kinda) big thing. As I'm mixing them, he asks what I'm doing, then says, "but I wanted cereal." Really?? He graciously eats the muffins, then says, "I like you getting up with me, but don't make breakfast anymore." .....
Pick me up: I have an out for making breakfast in the future? Haha.
Might I add, this is also our first month-aversary? Pretty sure my second let-down will come when he gets home from work without any flowers because we "already celebrated." Ah, well, can't do anything but love him anyway. Hehe.
Let down: my husband thinks valentines day is a bunch of hooey and refuses to get me anything. our first year together, I bought him a t-shirt and he was like "oh, this is awkward." ever since then.... nothing.
I am not a total girlie-girl, but I grew up in a house where my dad always bought chococlate for my mom, me and my sister. and then in high school / college, I almost never had a boyfriend on VD (only once). so I'm a little sore about it.
seriously, it's not that difficult! just a couple of dahlias would make me very happy.
pick me up: I try to convince myself that valentines day is a phony holiday. not a very good pick me up, is that? :/
Ah...these are great! Happy Valentine's Lovely Bees!
Let Down - I'm not sure my SO realizes Valentine's Day is today. He hasn't made a peep about it, even when we saw each other last night and I didn't want to remind him. I have tons of homework to do tonight and it's all due tomorrow so I don't really have time to do anything super special. I have been planning a crafty little project for his Valentine's gift for two months and still haven't started it! There's no way I'm going to be able to finish it. So, if he doesn't do anything super romantic, that should be okay with me since I currently have nothing planned for him.
Pick Me Up - My SO shows his love each and every day of the year. I'm a lucky girl <3
Let Down: The headache I've had for the last two days has decided to hang out for the holiday as well.
Pick Me Up: I get to spend every day of the rest of my life with a wonderful man, and that makes me so happy that I don't care that he has class tonight and we won't see each other between morning coffee and nighttime toothbrushing. Doesn't bug me a bit.
@MissPine: and @sweetcrackers: you two make good points. now I feel better!
also, I think I'm going to buy my own damn flowers :)
Let Down: I get to have a wisdom tooth cut out today!! woohoo go me.
Pick Me Up: He bought me a beautiful bouquet of tulips (my fave) and a really sweet card, inside it was a complete spa day tomorrow!!! im so excited!!!!
Let down: BF manages at a VERY popular chain restaurant, so he will be working all night.
Pick-me up: We're both off tomorrow. Granted, its to get our taxes done, but we get to spend the day together.

Trying to make light of annoying/upsetting/bad things on Valentine's Day -
Let-Down: I was going to surprise my DH with chocolate covered strawberries tonight (which he loves). He told me last night he was excited because his mom was making homemade chocolate covered strawberries (which he will have at work with him ALL DAY LONG). Ugh. I told him about my surprise because I was upset and I didn't want him to feel like he had to pretend to be excited about eating MORE chocolate covered strawberries AFTER work.
Pick-me-Up: I guess there will be more chocolate covered strawberries for ME to enjoy!
