Thanks Hans!
That works great. I understand it all and it is working in my book, so even
better. I did not know you could \typsetbuffer[a,b,c]. I will be using that
again.
In case anyone finds this in the future, trying to solve a similar issue, my
final version is below, including my \marginTikZ command.

\usemodule[tikz]% Lots of setup can go here!

\draw[thick,blue] (0,0) circle (2cm)node{Ti{\it k}Z!};
\stopbuffer
\marginTikZ{BlueCircle}{Ti{\it k}Z drew this blue circle\dots slowly.}

\draw[thick,red] (0,0) circle (2cm)node{Ti{\it k}Z!};
\stopbuffer
\marginTikZ{RedCircle}{Ti{\it k}Z drew this red circle\dots slowly.}
Take a look at the blue circle in \in{figure}[fig:BlueCircle] and the red
circle in \in{figure}[fig:RedCircle]
